Not all areas are alike: willingness to comply with pandemic containment measures across residential contexts in China.

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: Public compliance with containment measures is important for effective pandemic governance, but willingness to comply may vary across residential contexts. This study examined compliance willingness with COVID-19 containment measures across rural, town, and urban areas in China and the factors associated with it within each setting. Methods: Using cross-sectional survey data from 985 respondents across three northern provinces of China, we compared compliance willingness across residential contexts using nonparametric tests. We also estimated hierarchical block-entry OLS regression models for the three subgroups and conducted pooled residence-by-predictor interaction tests to assess contextual heterogeneity formally. Results: Compliance willingness differed significantly across settings. Rural respondents reported higher willingness than town and urban respondents, although the absolute differences were modest. The subgroup models showed different within-context patterns of association, with government performance positively associated with compliance willingness in all three settings. Formal interaction tests indicated that between-context heterogeneity was concentrated in the institutional domain and specifically in the association between institutional trust and compliance willingness. Conclusion: The findings reveal selective heterogeneity in compliance willingness across residential contexts, particularly in the role of institutional trust.
