Kindergarten development and fertility intention: an empirical study from China.
Article in Frontiers in sociology, 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
Introduction: Faced with the inevitable trend of low fertility, how to build a more sustainable society that enables people to have the number of children they desire is becoming a global problem. Methods: Based on data from the China General Social Survey and China Education Statistics, we use Poisson regression, ordered logit regression, bootstrap analysis and other methods to explore the relationship between kindergarten development and fertility intention. Results: There is a positive correlation between developing kindergartens and fertility intention. The robustness tests prove the reliability of the research results. Developing kindergartens improves fertility intention by supporting career aspirations and increasing leisure accessibility. Women with a higher education level exhibit a stronger association with the development of kindergartens. Discussion: Although the empirical evidence is based on fertility intentions rather than realized fertility outcomes, the observed evidence may offer potential directions for optimizing demographic structures and fostering sustainable socioeconomic development. In the future, countries with low fertility should take measures to increase the supply of high-quality kindergartens and relieve childcare pressure to effectively solve the problem of low fertility.
