1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Amid rapid population ageing, integrating health and social care in high-density urban neighbourhoods remains a critical challenge. We propose a dual-dimensional “spatio-temporal efficiency–service perception” framework combining GIS with the Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model, and tested it in Sanqiao Sub-district, Wuhan, China. Barrier-free renovations increased 15-minute elderly care coverage from 71.5% to 86.2%. Regression analysis identified facility adequacy (β = 0.22) and staff empathy (β = 0.14) as key satisfaction drivers. However, non-spatial barriers persisted: counselling utilisation was only 47.2%, and care costs ≥ 22% of household income reduced uptake by 63%. The “renovation + micro-station” strategy achieved 95.8% policy compliance, 100% EHR interoperability, and cut service response time to < 10 min. The model offers a culturally adaptive, transferable blueprint for resource-constrained ageing cities, emphasising that spatial fixes must be coupled with financial and stigma-reduction interventions to achieve equitable care access.
