Measuring integrated hypertension care in community health centers: a cross-sectional study based on the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care in Chengdu, China.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundEffective hypertension management requires cross-sector coordination. The effectiveness of integrated hypertension care varies due to its multidimensional nature, yet evidence from Chinese primary care is limited. This study assessed the level of integrated hypertension care using the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care Measurement Tool (RMIC-MT) and identified key influencing factors.
methodsA cross-sectional census was conducted among all community health centers (CHCs) in Chengdu between November 2021 and January 2022. Service integration was evaluated across six dimensions: person-& community-centeredness, care integration, professional integration, organizational integration, cultural competence, and technical competence. Multilevel linear modeling was applied to identify factors associated with integration.
resultsAmong 110 CHCs surveyed (effective rate: 84.6%), the highest mean integration score was observed in person- & community-centeredness (4.31), whereas organizational integration received the lowest score (2.96). Higher staff education levels (β = - 0.122, 95% CI: - 0.225 to - 0.019), availability of an emergency department (β = - 0.158, 95% CI: - 0.248 to - 0.068), implementation of disease-specific outpatient management (β = - 0.170, 95% CI: - 0.288 to - 0.052), and participation in hospital alliances (β = - 0.217, 95% CI: - 0.421 to - 0.013) were positively associated with greater integration. In contrast, having ophthalmology services (β = 0.110, 95% CI: 0.009 to 0.211) and use of wearable devices (β = 0.204, 95% CI: 0.037 to 0.370) were negatively associated with integration.
conclusionsInstitutional integration of hypertension services among CHCs in Chengdu remains suboptimal, with organizational domains lagging behind person-centered aspects. The findings highlight the necessity of strengthening systemic capacities-particularly in staff training, infrastructure development, and inter-organizational collaboration-to enhance the overall performance of integrated primary care.
