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
Urban regeneration is a global concern and a crucial component of China's recent urbanization efforts. Among the several stakeholders, citizens' participatory intention in the urban regeneration is closely related to a city's sustainable development. Given China's top-down governance tradition, encouraging public participation has been a challenge for the government. To understand what citizens really care in urban regeneration, this study employed a research model based on theories of planned behavior, place attachment, and place memory, to examine citizens' behavior, focusing on how different variables influenced their participation. The Nanjing West Road Historic and Cultural Area (NWRHCA) in Shanghai has been selected as a case study. Data were collected from 1,137 valid questionnaires, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test 10 hypotheses regarding the effect paths from six variables to behavioral intention and performance. Additionally, we conducted in-depth interviews to further explain the SEM analysis results. The findings indicate that: (1) place attachment is an important factor in shaping citizens' intention to participate; (2) there are significant negative correlations between attitude and behavioral intention, as well as between memorable urban experiences and behavioral intention; (3) conflicts among stakeholders impede public participation in urban regeneration and (4) willingness of citizens' participation can be enhanced through a "step-by-step" procedural approach, the institutionalization of regeneration process, and the cultivation of residents' place attachment. These findings provided new insights into the conventional approach to urban regeneration in China, exploring citizens' core interest, and highlighting important implications for facilitating diverse forms of public participation in future urban regeneration.
