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

Musicals, as an art form, are attracting greater attention in China's increasingly competitive market. In particular, the adaptation of Chinese nursery rhymes in musicals and its influence on audience affective reactions and behavioral intentions has emerged as a notable research focus. This study aims to explore the impact of nursery rhyme adaptations in musicals on audience interaction, affective reactions, satisfaction, and repurchase intention. Using questionnaire surveys and structural equation modeling, we empirically analyse how audience interaction and affective reactions in these musical adaptations enhance satisfaction and increase repurchase intention. The results indicate that audience interaction significantly boosts affective reactions, leading to heightened satisfaction and a greater likelihood of repurchase. Furthermore, elements such as scenic design, lyric adaptation, and melody adaptation enrich the overall artistic experience by influencing both cognitive and affective responses. This study offers strategic recommendations for musical production, specifically highlighting the importance of audience interaction and affective reactions throughout the creative process to maximize engagement and commercial success. In conclusion, our findings provide valuable theoretical and practical insights that not only support cultural inheritance but also drive innovation within the musical theater industry.
