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

Background: The community-based home care model is a vital strategy and pivotal response against global population aging. However, multidimensional empirical studies that quantitatively evaluate the design and consistency of community-based home care policies are scarce and have left a critical gap in understanding and optimizing CHC policies. Methods: This research introduces a novel evaluative framework combining text mining and the Policy Modeling Consistency (PMC) index model to quantitatively assess the consistency and design of 30 Chinese CHCPs issued by central and local government from 2021 to 2024. Results: The study yields two key original findings. First, it empirically identifies a core tension in multi-level governance: high longitudinal consistency coexists with significant horizontal disparities in local policy capabilities. Second, it pinpoints deficiencies in policy nature, content, and timeliness as primary constraints. Conclusion: The study's primary theoretical contribution is to present the first empirical and quantitative analysis of CHCPs from a multidimensional level by using the PMC Index model. The primary practical contribution is that through a multidimensional consistency evaluation, the study offers specific, evidence-based optimized pathways for policymakers to enhance policy coherence as well as effectiveness and to bridge the gap between central planning and local implementation.
