Digital inclusion, legal governance, and the adoption of smart care services by older adults in China: an evolutionary game analysis.

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: The availability of digital care services does not ensure their adoption by older adults. Methods: This study develops a tripartite evolutionary game involving government, platform enterprises, and older adults to examine how legal governance, enterprise investment, and user-side benefits jointly shape the adoption of smart care services by older adults in China. The payoff structure applies penalties and reputational losses only to passive enterprise investment and makes age-friendly design, data protection, and support measures improve the relative payoff of adoption. Official procurement records, enterprise disclosures, administrative performance data, subsidy standards, and survey estimates provide direct observable anchors, proxy-informed ranges, or scenario bounds according to parameter identifiability. Results: Under a coordinated baseline and an initial utilization share of 0.116, the system reached (0.908, 0.919, 0.965) at Discussion: These are conditional simulation results, not population probabilities. High inclusion requires the public value of intervention to exceed implementation cost, sanctions and reputation to offset the short-run advantage of underinvestment, and user benefits and support to overcome the outside option.
