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

China's rapid population aging presents profound challenges for equitable institutional elderly care. Traditional spatial accessibility metrics typically neglect affordability constraints, leading to systematic overestimation of effective access for low-income older adults. We developed a national, 1-km resolution accessibility dataset for mainland China using an affordability-constrained Gaussian two-step floating catchment area (AC-Ga2SFCA) method that couples travel-time impedance with price-income affordability weighting. Household payment capacity is represented by a high-resolution per capita disposable income surface downscaled from county statistics, and facility contributions are down-weighted according to fees. Across multiple travel-time catchments, the dataset provides three complementary raster layers-baseline accessibility (spatial reachability), affordability-constrained accessibility (effective access), and the accessibility gap (affordability-driven exclusion)-for both total beds and nursing-care beds, alongside administrative summaries and inequality metrics. Technical validation shows strong performance of the income downscaling model (R
