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

Traditional villages play a vital role in rural development by promoting the revitalization of China's rural areas and the rejuvenation of national culture. This study examines 701 national traditional villages in Zhejiang Province, analyzing their spatial distribution using the nearest neighbor index, and kernel density analysis. Geographic detectors were employed to quantitatively identify the factors influencing spatial distribution and their interaction effects. Findings indicate: (1) Traditional villages in Zhejiang Province display unique spatial agglomeration characteristics described as "two cores and multiple points," accompanied by notable ethnic differentiation. Predominantly, minority villages are situated in the mountainous regions of southwestern Zhejiang. (2) Elevation, per capita disposable income, social fixed asset investment, per capita GDP, are key factors driving the spatial differentiation of traditional villages in the region. (3) Cross detection reveals that the spatial distribution of traditional villages in Zhejiang Province has evolved through the combined influence of natural, economic, and social factors. This evolution encompasses periods characterized by natural environmental location and subsequent preservation amid socio-economic development. The study quantifies the impact of natural and economic factors on the distribution and preservation of traditional villages in China's developed provinces, identifying the influence of residential income and social fixed asset investment on their retention patterns.
