Research on the transmission mechanisms of global intangible cultural heritage: a case study of Chinese Oolong tea production techniques.
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
Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) represents a fundamental element of human civilization and serves as a valuable resource for cultural tourism. However, the willingness and motivation of ICH practitioners-the key bearers of living heritage-to transmit their traditional knowledge remain relatively limited. Therefore, how to stimulate the intrinsic motivation of the inheritors' inheritance behavior is the focus of this research.Grounded in the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) framework, this study integrates grounded theory with partial least squares structural equation modelling to develop a comprehensive mechanism explaining how external opportunities influence practitioners' inheritance behavior through internal motivational and capability factors. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach centered on practitioners of Oolong Tea Making Skills, the research findings indicate that: (1) Inheritance behavior is directly influenced by inheritance motivation, intrinsic capability, and external opportunity, following a sequential mediation pathway of "external opportunity → intrinsic capability → inheritance motivation → inheritance behavior." (2) Local cultural vitality positively moderates the relationship between inheritance motivation and inheritance behavior, suggesting that a more vibrant local cultural environment strengthens the conversion of motivational intent into actual transmission practices. Distinct from prior studies, this research clarifies the intricate mechanisms underlying ICH practitioners' behavioral engagement in heritage transmission and introduces local cultural vitality as a novel moderating factor, thereby advancing both the theoretical application of the MOA model and scholarly discourse on ICH sustainability. Practical recommendations are further provided to strengthen the intergenerational transmission capacity of ICH practitioners, offering actionable guidance for supporting the continuity of living cultural heritage.
