Study on spatial accessibility and supply-demand fit of public older adult care facilities in Guangzhou.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Against the backdrop of deepening aging population phenomenon, the coordination between the allocation of older adult care services and the needs of the older adult population has become a critical issue for optimizing urban public services. Taking the 11 administrative districts in Guangzhou as the research subjects, this study employs the nearest neighbor index, kernel density analysis, standard deviation ellipse, network accessibility analysis, and supply-demand matching models to explore the spatial distribution, accessibility, and supply-demand matching characteristics of public older adult care service facilities. The results indicate that both the demand and supply of older adult care services in Guangzhou exhibit significant spatial clustering, with the central urban area forming a core cluster of service demand and resource allocation. While the overall accessibility of public older adult care facilities is relatively high, it follows a spatial pattern of higher concentration in the center and lower in the periphery. The study suggests that the allocation of older adult care service resources in Guangzhou is generally reasonable, but regional disparities persist. Future efforts should further optimize facility layouts to enhance the balance and accessibility of older adult care service resource allocations.
