Supply and demand matching of public sports services for rural older adults in China: current situation and related factors.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: China's rural aging population faces significant health challenges. This study examines the supply-demand matching of public sports services for rural older adults to promote healthy aging. Methods: We surveyed adults aged 50+ (demand side) and village cadres (supply side) across eastern, central, and western China. Data were collected via questionnaire surveys and analyzed using canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Results: Overall supply-demand matching was low, with significant deficiencies in sports funding, facilities, and activity organization. Matching levels were higher in eastern and economically developed villages. Older adults' demand correlated significantly with educational background, economic status, and health conditions. CCA revealed that service matching enhanced physical activity awareness but failed to address needs related to health status and lifestyle, showing notable gaps in satisfaction and participation. Discussion: To optimize services, we propose improved strategic planning, multi-entity collaboration, demand-oriented content, and integrated online-offline platforms to better support healthy aging in rural China.
