Article in Scientific reports, 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
Tourism destinations in arid regions are increasingly facing multifaceted pressures, including intensifying resource and environmental constraints and growing tourism development demands. The sustainability of these destinations largely relies on the collective resilience of ecological, economic, and social systems. This study develops a conceptual framework and an indicator system for assessing the sustainability of Tourism Socioecological Systems (TSES) in arid regions from the perspective of pressure and resilience. Employing the improved TOPSIS method, State Classification Functions, Coupling Coordination Models, and Obstacle Degree Models, this study evaluated the sustainability levels of TSES in Xinjiang from 2010 to 2020. Additionally, the spatiotemporal evolution, coupling coordination relationships, and obstacle factors were analyzed. The results reveal that: (1) The overall sustainability of TSES in Xinjiang improved during the study period. Spatially, sustainability was highest in key tourism-economic cities such as Urumqi and gradually decreased in surrounding areas, with significant regional disparities. (2) The number of regions in a sustainable surplus state increased, while those in a load state decreased, indicating enhanced resilience and reduced pressures. However, improvements in some prefecture-level units, such as Turpan and Hami, remained limited. (3) The coupling coordination dynamics of Xinjiang's 14 prefectures improved steadily, with most regions transitioning from passive coordination to low/medium-level coordination. However, achieving high-level coordination remains challenging, suggesting the need for further optimization of pressure-resilience interactions. (4) Obstacle factors to sustainability showed significant regional heterogeneity, with spatial occupancy pressure from tourists and population carrying pressure being universal constraints. These findings provide scientific guidance for the sustainable development of TSES in Xinjiang and other arid regions.
