Evaluating rural sports tourism competitiveness: A framework applied to Shandong province.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Rural sports tourism performs a crucial role in developing the rural sports industry and promoting rural revitalization. We investigate the competitiveness of rural sports tourism in Shandong Province through niche theory, developing a five-tier index system in the context of resource base, industrial development, location conditions, fundamental guarantees, and construction management. A least squares optimization model is used to identify both subjective and objective weights for the indicators. In detail, we evaluate the niche intensity and overlap of 16 cities, suggesting significant disparities in competitiveness. Higher niche overlap correlates with enhanced competition, emphasizing the need for better resource development, diversified economic formats, as well as stronger location conditions, basic guarantees, marketing management, and city-level cooperation. These findings not only offer practical recommendations for enhancing competitiveness, but also provide theoretical guidance for the high-quality development of regional rural sports tourism.
