Perceived event sustainability as a moderator connecting marathon participants' motivations to place attachment, value perceptions, and value co-creation behaviors.

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
This study examines how sports tourists’ motivations influence place attachment, perceived value, and value co-creation behaviors, with perceived event sustainability as a moderating factor. Through a quantitative survey of 365 marathon participants across Chinese cities, we tested relationships between three motivational factors (athletic pleasure, achievement seeking, and social media recognition) and tourism outcomes. Results confirmed that all motivational factors had positive associations with both place attachment and perceived value, with perceived event sustainability significantly moderating these relationships. Furthermore, both place attachment and perceived value were found to be positively associated with value co-creation behavior. These findings extend the theoretical understanding of sports tourism psychology by establishing empirically validated pathways between motivations and behavioral outcomes while highlighting sustainability’s growing importance as a strategic element in sports tourism experiences.
