Geographical Proximity and Community Health Centres: A Sustainable Solution for Denmark.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. 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
The Danish healthcare system has transitioned from a decentralised municipal hospital model to a centralised structure dominated by large, specialised hospitals. While this shift has improved efficiency and healthcare quality in some respects, it has also created challenges in terms of accessibility, patient mobility, and sustainability. Community health centres represent a strategic response to these issues by decentralising essential healthcare services and reintroducing geographical proximity as a core principle of healthcare. In this article, we propose drawing on the 15-min city concept to discuss how accessibility and spatial equity should be integrated into the planning of community health centres as platforms for active living and strong communities. We argue that proximity and accessibility in healthcare can benefit from a broader view of mobility and a focus on developing active, independent mobility systems. Data from semi-structured interviews with patients and professionals at 11 community health centres and three regions empirically demonstrate this. The 15-min city concept can lead to a reduction in travel time and improve accessibility and proximity for older adults.
