Vulnerability analysis of the economic-social-ecological complex system of Island tourism destinations.
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
Exploring the vulnerability characteristics of the economic-social-ecological complex system of island tourism destinations can provide better theoretical and practical guidance for the sustainable development of island tourism destinations. Taking Zhoushan, which is a famous island tourism destination in China, as a case, based on the vulnerability analysis framework of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this paper employs the entropy value method, comprehensive index method, system coordination degree model, and obstacle model to quantitatively measure the vulnerability of the economic-social-ecological complex system of Zhoushan from 2011 to 2022. It analyzes the spatial and temporal heterogeneity characteristics of the complex system`s vulnerability and the obstacle factors in the four administrative regions that make up the case site. The research results reveal that the vulnerability of Zhoushan's economic-social-ecological complex system shows a decreasing trend, indicating its ability to withstand external disturbances continuously increases. However, the decline in the coordinated development of vulnerability reveals the imbalance in the development of internal systems among the four different regions. Furthermore, the study finds that the degree of obstacles to the ecological system is relatively high at the system level. In contrast, at the indicator level, the main obstacle factors are the total import and export trade, density of the tourism economy, construction land ratio, island land and sea area coefficient, and tourist density. Based on these findings, the study suggests deepening trans-regional cooperation, paying attention to constructing ecological systems and promoting the coordinated development of the island tourism destination complex system to reduce the overall vulnerability of island tourism destinations.
