Multidimensional health poverty among diabetic adults in China: evidence from the China Kadoorie Biobank.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 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
backgroundDespite the rising burden of diabetes in low- and middle-income countries, conventional economic metrics often fail to capture the multidimensional nature of health deprivation. This study aims to bridge this gap by assessing multidimensional health poverty among Chinese adults with diabetes using a survival-anchored multidimensional framework.
methodsThis study used data from 19,236 adults with diabetes enrolled in the China Kadoorie Biobank. Individual 5-year survival probabilities were estimated using stratified Cox proportional hazards models. Subsequently, we constructed Multidimensional Health Poverty Indices using the Alkire-Foster dual-cutoff method, integrating three dimensions: subjective health, objective health, and healthcare access capability. Scenario analyses were further employed to provide illustrative simulations of behavioral interventions on poverty reduction.
resultsThe overall adjusted headcount ratio (M0) of multidimensional health poverty was 26.92%. We observed significant demographic and socioeconomic gradients, with poverty intensity being most pronounced among older women, rural residents, and individuals with lower socioeconomic status. According to the decomposition results, reducing deprivation in healthcare access capability may warrant prioritization for lower socioeconomic strata, while counterfactual scenarios revealed that behavioral interventions were associated with larger simulated reductions for higher socioeconomic strata.
conclusionDiabetic adults in China face substantial multidimensional health poverty, driven principally by survival risks and structural barriers to healthcare. The divergence in intervention outcomes suggests that achieving health equity requires a targeted strategy, prioritizing financial protection mechanisms for vulnerable populations while promoting lifestyle modifications among higher socioeconomic groups.
