Association between going out for work and self-rated health of rural residents: a longitudinal study in Ningxia, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aims to examine the relationship between going out for work and self-rated health among rural residents in Ningxia while further investigating the mediating effects of health service utilization on this relationship. The findings provide policy recommendations for improving rural residents' health outcomes. Based on longitudinal data from the 2019 and 2022 "Ningxia Rural Household Health Survey" (including 13432 participants in 2019 and 12626 in 2022), ordered logit regression models and propensity score matching were utilized to analyse self-rated health. Robustness tests were conducted with different matching methods, with mediation effect analysis revealing potential pathways through health service utilization. On the basis of fully adjusted propensity score matching regression models, going out for work was significantly associated with improved self-rated health among rural residents (β = 0.292, P < 0.01). However, subgroup analyses revealed that this positive association was not statistically significant among divorced/widowed individuals (β = 0.052, P > 0.05), those with senior high school education or above (β = 0.107, P > 0.05), those without medical insurance (β = 0.528, P > 0.05), and those using flush toilets (β = 0.088, P > 0.05). Additionally, mediation analysis indicated that outpatient service utilization (β = 0.0043, P = 0.026) and inpatient service utilization (β = 0.0128, P < 0.01) mediated the relationship between going out for work and self-rated health. These findings suggest that going out for work positively influences rural residents' health, with health service utilization playing a significant role in this relationship. Encouraging individuals to work may not only promote employment but also contribute to improving rural residents' health outcomes.
