Does family migration affect health-related quality of life? a cross-sectional survey of the health status of migrants in China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFamily migration is a trend of domestic population migration in China. However, few studies have investigated the impact of family migration on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of migrants.
objectiveTo understand the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of migrants during urban development in China, and to analyze its influencing factors from the perspective of integrating family migration patterns with individual health behaviors.
methodWilcoxon rank sum test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the differences in health-related quality of life among the migrants. Multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the relationship between family migration, health behavior and quality of life.
resultsA total of 935 valid questionnaires were collected. The utility index of the migrants was 1.00 (0.80,1.00), and the EQ-VAS score was 83 (73,90). The results of univariate analysis showed that migrants living with spouse and children, near migration, high self-rated family economic status, adherence to reasonable diet, moderate exercise and adequate sleep had higher health-related quality of life (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that family and migration factors such as nuclear family migration degree, migration distance, and self-rated family economic status (P < 0.05), personal health and health behavior factors such as dietary habits, weekly exercise time, sleep time, and the number of chronic diseases (P < 0.05) were associated with the health-related quality of life of migrants. Migrants had more difficulties in "pain/discomfort" and "anxiety/depression", accounting for 25.2% and 31.3%, respectively.
conclusionFamily-related factors such as nuclear family members not migrating together, long distance migration, poor family economic status, and personal factors such as not adhering to health behaviors and the coexistence of multiple chronic diseases could weaken the health-related quality of life of migrants. Pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression were the main health problems affecting migrants. For this reason, attention should be paid to migrants such as those living alone or with low incomes. In addition, improving the health literacy and health behavior of migrants by promoting healthy lifestyle, carrying out mental health activities, and strengthening health management services can help promote the social integration of migrants and promote the development of cities.
