Study on the influencing factors and composing path of online healthcare community use: an empirical study based on fsQCA.

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
In recent years, online healthcare communities have been widely adopted in China. However, the influencing factors and configuration paths affecting their usage remain unclear. This study employs Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to empirically investigate the determinants and combinatorial pathways leading to the use of online healthcare communities. Based on a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected via an online questionnaire using a snowball sampling method, resulting in 287 valid responses from users with experience in online healthcare platforms. The study examines condition configurations from the perspectives of patients, doctors, and platforms, identifying six sufficient combinatorial paths that lead to usage. Among these, the combination of perceived usefulness × perceived ease of use × platform trust exhibits the highest raw coverage. The findings enhance understanding of the mechanisms driving online healthcare community adoption and offer practical insights for platform optimization, policy-making, and future research.
