The sustainability of recreational sports in Chinese cities based on cognitive entropy.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
With progress of science and development of economy, increasing numbers of urban residents take part in recreational sports (RS) due to their more leisure time and increased income. The RS is defined as a kind of physical activities engaged by people during their leisure time for obtaining experience of physical and mental pleasure. The sustainability of the RS plays a critical role in sustainable urban development. As major Chinese cities, such as Hangzhou, Shanghai and Chengdu, are faced with how to maintain sustainable development of their RS systems, which are selected as case cities for empirical analysis. The RS system and its evaluation indicators are constructed by using the conceptual composition method. The RS system is made up of five subsystems including the industrial subsystem, space subsystem, experience subsystem and formal subsystem. The indicator system for assessment of RS system is included 28 indicators. The validity of the RS system questionnaire is tested by employing confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling software. The result indicates good fit of the questionnaire factors. The inquiry was carried out in the three cities where 1080 residents were approached and 1028 questionnaires were collected. The cognitive entropies and weight matrix for the RS system of each sample cities are calculated based on entropy theory. The sustainable development levels of each subsystem of the RS system are obtained by using TOPSIS Method. Then, suggestions of urban planning for three cities have been derived by the results of analysis based on their historical background, regional characteristic and development level.
