Spatial-temporal characteristics and driving factors of the coupling coordination between primary health care and socioeconomic development: a case study of Beijing, China.

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
backgroundPrimary Health Care (PHC) plays a central role in achieving universal health coverage and is a key focus of China's healthcare reforms. It is important to balance PHC development across different regions and ensure its harmonious growth with economic and social factors. This balance is essential for equitable health access and overall societal well-being. This study aims to examine the spatial imbalance in PHC development and its coordination with socioeconomic factors, trying to explore the driving factors behind the imbalance.
methodsThis study focuses on the 16 districts of Beijing from 2012 to 2021, constructing a social, economic, and PHC evaluation indicator system. First, this study used the entropy weight method and coupling coordination model to analyze the Coupling Coordination Degree (CCD) of PHC, economic, and social development. Then, Moran's I was used to test the spatial association characteristics of PHC development and the CCD. Lastly, the Geodetector was used to explore the driving factors behind the dual imbalance in PHC.
resultsBetween 2012 and 2021, Beijing's PHC resources significantly increased. The PHC scores in the central city, near suburbs, and far suburbs were 0.46, 0.23, and 0.06, respectively, with a Moran's I of 0.22 (P = 0.02), signifying a spatial imbalance in PHC development. The CCD of these regions were 0.72, 0.57, and 0.35, respectively, with a Moran's I of 0.48 (P = 0.002), signifying the CCD imbalance. Factors such as population (q = 0.90), physician (q = 0.87), and government financial spending (q = 0.82) emerged as principal drivers of this dual imbalance.
conclusionsOver the last decade, Beijing's PHC resources have significantly increased, but spatial imbalance persists. Several districts exhibit a lag in PHC relative to socio-economic advancements, with pronounced systemic imbalances in the far suburbs. Factors driving this dual imbalance include geographical features, resident economic status, demographics, medical resources, and government regulation ability. Enhanced governmental investment and policy support for PHC in the far suburbs are recommended.
