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

Sports tourism has emerged as a popular means of relaxation and psychological enrichment. This study explores the influence of the sports tourism field on tourists' flow experience, with a focus on the mediating role of tourism involvement and the moderating role of personality traits. Data were collected via questionnaires at several representative sports tourism demonstration sites in China, yielding 454 valid responses. The results revealed that the sports tourism field significantly enhances tourists' flow experience, and that tourism involvement partially mediates this relationship. Furthermore, personality traits-particularly extroversion-moderate the effect of the tourism field on flow experience, amplifying its impact. The findings offer theoretical insights and practical implications for optimizing destination design and enriching tourists' immersive experiences in sports tourism.
