Spatio-temporal differentiation and obstacle diagnosis of coupling coordination of pseudo human settlements in China's urban agglomerations.
Article in Scientific reports, 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 the rapid development of the Internet, pseudo human settlements (PHS) have emerged, and urban agglomerations (UAs) must urgently adapt to digital and intelligent transformation. This research focuses on 19 China's UAs and aims to explore the spatio-temporal patterns and obstacles to the coordinated development of PHS. The study creatively constructs a theoretical framework for PHS and employs methods including the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model, standard deviation ellipse, and obstacle degree model. Findings show: (1) CCD exhibits the overall characteristics of "high coupling-low dispersion, low coordination-high dispersion". There are six types of coupling coordination, with disordered types dominating. The evolution of types shows three stages: "disorder prevalent-coordination emerges-coordination expands". (2) Temporally, taking 2015 as the reference point, the overall trend shows rapid growth followed by fluctuations and declines, gradually stabilizing. Spatially, it shows "east-high, west-low" and "core-periphery" patterns, with spatial agglomeration and a southward center of gravity shift. (3) Tool and living systems are key dimensional obstacles, while Start Reading, 2345 Weather, Quark, Kuaishou, and Tencent Cloud are major indicator obstacles. This study enriches the theoretical content of human settlements research in the digital age, provides new perspectives for human settlements geography, and expands the research dimension of the "human-land-technology" interaction in urbanization theory. Meanwhile, it contributes to promoting high-quality urban development and the creation of innovative, livable, civilized, and smart modern cities for the people.
