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

The sports industry's contribution to economic growth is increasingly pronounced, as structural optimization offers significant potential to enhance its impact on economic development. This study employs the grey relational analysis and GM (1,1) grey prediction models to examine the correlation between China's sports sub-sectors and key national economic development indicators, providing projections for future trends. Results indicate that the sports manufacturing sector and related product sales demonstrate the strongest correlation with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), highlighting their critical role in fostering economic growth. The GM (1,1) model reliably forecasts future trends in the sports industry's added value. Based on these insights, sector-specific recommendations are proposed to promote structural optimization and sustainable development in China's sports industry.
