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
Introduction: As an important carrier of cultural identity and community cohesion in rural Chinese society, traditional folk activities often generate tensions with modern ecological protection goals due to their resource-intensive characteristics. This study takes the millennium-old "Firecracker Lion Dance" activity in Deqing County, Guangdong Province, as a research case to explore how government environmental regulation influences farmers' willingness to participate in the Sustainable Firecracker-Lion Dance Custom, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of social norms and ecological cognition. Methods: Based on 423 valid samples collected through fieldwork from 2022 to 2024, a structural equation model was constructed to systematically examine the differential regulatory pathways of incentive-based and coercive environmental regulation on farmers' participation in traditional folk practices, as well as the mediating roles of ecological cognition and social norms. Results: The results show that incentive-based regulation significantly enhances farmers' willingness to participate through motivational mechanisms (β = 0.229, Conclusion: This study provides deeper insight into that the effectiveness of environmental regulation in traditional folk practices depends less on regulatory intensity than on cultural compatibility. Social norms function as key cultural conduits that translate policy signals into behavioral acceptance, whereas ecological cognition may generate value tensions that constrain participation. The results of this study offer theoretical validation and practical significance for the integrated governance of culture and ecology within the paradigm of ecological civilization.
