Evaluation of tourism ecological security and its obstacles in semi-arid river valley urban: a case study of Lanzhou, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Assessing tourism ecological security is essential for balancing development with environmental sustainability, thereby guiding effective resource management and policy formulation within the tourism industry. This study evaluates the ecological security of Lanzhou's tourism sector, a city rich in historical and natural resources yet facing unique ecological challenges. Our objectives were to assess the current status of tourism ecological security in Lanzhou and provide actionable policy recommendations. We employed a comprehensive evaluation framework that integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods, including the DPSIR model, mean square deviation, and entropy methods for weight calculation, as well as TOPSIS for overall assessment and coupled coordination degree and obstacle degree models for subsystem analysis. The results indicate an upward trend in Lanzhou's tourism ecological security from 2009 to 2021, peaking in 2019 before experiencing a pandemic-induced decline in 2020-2021. While subsystem coupling coordination generally improved, the pressure and state subsystems exhibited instability. These findings offer valuable insights for similar regions and underscore the necessity for holistic management strategies. We recommend enhancing ecological monitoring, promoting sustainable tourism practices, and enhancing local community involvement in tourism management. These measures are crucial to improving Lanzhou's tourism ecological security and could serve as a model for other cities with similar development trajectories. Future research should focus on refining ecological security evaluation models and exploring the broader socio-economic impacts of ecological sustainability in tourism.
