1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As an important tool for governing, regulating, and safeguarding national sports, sports policy not only centralizes and expresses the state's vision for sports but also advances the development of the sports economy, and distributes the benefits of social sports. Accordingly, we collect policy samples from 31 provinces of China. Adopting the central-local relationship perspective, we use the grey correlation analysis method to explore the intrinsic relationship between the factors influencing the diffusion of public sports policies and the degree of policy text reproduction by provincial governments. We aim to encourage provincial governments to innovate policy texts based on local development needs, geographic position, and resource capabilities, This will enhance the diffusion of public sports policies and contribute to national and global sports governance. The diffusion of China's public sports policies is influenced by six secondary indicators: economic level, population size, sports organizations, public sports demand, central government policy pressure, and learning effect. The policy environment, shaped primarily by central government policy pressure and the learning effect, has the greatest influence on the reproduction of provincial public sports policy texts.
