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

Introduction: This study investigates the interaction between ecotourism and economic development, and their impact on the ecological environment within national parks. Shennongjia National Park serves as a case study for this analysis. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation model was constructed, comprising the Ecotourism Development Index (ETI), Economic Development Index (EDI), and Ecological Pressure Index (EPI). The coupling coordination degree model (D) and the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) were employed to quantify synergistic effects and spatial interaction mechanisms among these systems. Multi-source data from 2016 to 2022 were utilized. Results: Ecotourism development exhibits a significant positive impact on regional economic growth (elasticity coefficient 0.68, Discussion: The findings indicate that while ecotourism significantly drives economic growth, it also increases ecological pressure. Spatial dependencies highlight the need for regional coordination in development strategies. Addressing the ecological-environmental lag, particularly through managing tourist capacity and increasing investment in ecological restoration, is crucial for achieving sustainable development. The study proposes development pathways and strategies to promote the coordinated advancement of ecotourism, economic growth, and ecological environmental protection.
