Spatial inequality in school physical education resources in Shaanxi, China (2021-2024): patterns, determinants, and policy implications.
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
Equity in school physical education (PE) resources is widely emphasized, yet county-level evidence rarely distinguishes demand-driven differences from true under-provision or examines how human, material, and financial inputs jointly shape spatial inequality. We develop an entropy-weighted, demand-adjusted PE resource adequacy index for 107 counties in Shaanxi, China (2021-2024) and combine a student-density-based supply-demand typology with spatial diagnostics (standard deviational ellipse; Global and Local Moran's I), Dagum Gini decomposition, and GeoDetector. Demand-adjusted adequacy shows a persistent core-periphery gradient: in 2024, 75 of 107 counties fall into the Very Low and Low tiers, and extensive Low-Low regimes persist in peripheral areas. Overall inequality peaks in 2022 (Gini = 0.472) and then declines to 0.424 in 2024, but remains structured mainly across prefecture-level cities (≈ 50% of total inequality), with within-city variation small (≈ 9%). Determinants shift over time, and nonlinear interaction enhancement indicates that finance, staffing, and infrastructure operate as complementary inputs rather than independent levers. These findings support jurisdiction-targeted and cluster-oriented intervention packages to reduce demand-adjusted shortfalls.
