Mapping China's sports tourism projects: regional imbalances, urban agglomerations, and driving forces.

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: The spatial distribution of sports tourism projects in China exhibits significant regional disparities, creating challenges associated with efficient resource utilisation and equitable development. Methods: In this study, we applied kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and the geographic detector to examine the spatial patterns and driving factors of STPs across the country systematically. Results: The results reveal an uneven distribution of STPs, with the Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region identified as the two core areas with the highest density. Natural STPs are more widely distributed, whereas cultural STPs are primarily concentrated in economically developed regions. Factor detection reveals that economic and fiscal variables serve as dominant drivers and that the balance of deposits in financial institutions, general public budget expenditures, and tertiary industry operating income exert the greatest explanatory power, whereas transportation and environmental indicators are less influential. Discussion: These findings highlight the combined effects of natural endowments, cultural resources, and institutional support on sports tourism development. This study advances the theoretical understanding of STP spatial dynamics and provides practical insights for optimising resource allocation, narrowing regional disparities, and promoting the sustainable growth of China's sports tourism industry.
