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
Aim: With the rapid progression of population aging in China, community sports parks are becoming vital venues for older adults' physical activity and social interaction. However, deficiencies in age-friendly design remain evident. This study investigates older adults' service demands in community sports parks using the Kano model, aiming to identify attributes that shape satisfaction and inform the development of older adults friendly facilities. Methods: A survey was conducted in three representative parks in Jinan, Rizhao, and Weihai (Shandong Province) between May and July 2025. A total of 900 questionnaires were distributed, with 838 valid responses collected (93.1%). The instrument covered six dimensions and 25 service items in functional/dysfunctional pairs. Reliability and validity tests were performed with SPSS 26.0, and Kano analysis was applied to classify demand attributes. Results: Indifferent attributes accounted for the largest proportion (36%), while attractive, must-be, and one-dimensional attributes represented 28, 20, and 16%, respectively. Public service facilities, sports facilities, multi-sharing, professional fitness guidance and sports skills training were identified as must-be requirements. Lighting system, environmental quality, maintenance management, greening facilities, social adaptability, health education, health monitoring activities were attractive attributes, while site protection, spatial comfort, recreational fitness facilities, recreational sports activities were one-dimensional expectations. Dimensional analysis highlighted that convenience and openness were critical to avoiding dissatisfaction, whereas environmental comfort was the strongest driver of satisfaction. Conclusion: Older adults' needs for community sports parks are multi-layered, encompassing safety, accessibility, comfort, sociability, and activity diversity. Essential functions must be guaranteed, while improvements in comfort, enrichment of activities, and intergenerational integration are crucial to enhancing satisfaction and participation. These findings provide empirical evidence to guide the age-friendly transformation of community sports parks and support the broader implementation of active aging strategies.
