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

Introduction: Cultural sustainability is recognized as the "fourth dimension" within the framework of sustainable development and has increasingly attracted attention from both academics and policymakers. Cultural activities serve as essential means for cultural expression and heritage preservation, playing a vital role in maintaining regional cultural sustainability. This study focuses on the psychology of participation in rural cultural activities, exploring both the internal and external driving mechanisms and action pathways to address the challenges of low participation rates and high demands for heritage preservation. Methods: This study takes Shatan Village in Guizhou, China as a case study, collects 158 valid samples through on-site questionnaire, uses SPSS and AMOS software for quantitative analysis, constructs a structural equation model (SEM) to examine the relationship between each variable and the moderating effect of government support. Results: The study found that the residents' intention has a significant positive impact on actual participation behavior; cultural subjective norms have a significant positive effect on participation intention, while cultural attitudes and perceived behavioral control do not have significant effect on participation intention. Additionally, Government support acts as a moderating factor in the relationship between cultural attitudes, perceived behavioral control and participation intention at different levels, but has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norms and participation intention. Discussion: This study illustrates that regional cultural sustainability involves not only the protection of cultural resources but also the ongoing stimulation of residents' internal psychological motivation. To effectively enhance enthusiasm for participation in cultural activities, it is essential to consider the interactions between individual cognition, social norms and institutional support. The research results provide a reference for shifting regional cultural inheritance from "passive acceptance" to "active creation" in different cultural contexts worldwide.
