Disability-Free Life Expectancy and Its Drivers Among Adults Aged 60 and Above - China, 2018 and 2023.
Article in China CDC weekly, 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
What is already known about this topic?: Disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) is a vital measure of older adults' quality of life. Although its temporal trends and determinants have been examined in previous studies, spatial heterogeneity has often been underestimated, because most analyses were conducted at aggregated national or provincial levels, masking local variations due to limited data availability. What is added by this report?: Compared with 2018, DFLE increased in 2023, and the urban-rural gap narrowed overall, with slower improvement in the western region. The determinants of DFLE varied by region, age, and urban-rural context. What are the implications for public health practice?: Public health strategies should be tailored to urban and rural contexts. Priority should be given to strengthening healthcare access, social security systems, and climate-adaptive infrastructure, particularly in rural areas of western China.
