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

The integration of health and wellness with sports industries is of profound significance for the sustainable development of UNESCO Global Geoparks. It serves not only as a key pathway to activate the value of geological resources but also as an important vehicle for advancing the "Healthy China" strategy. This study selects 18 representative UNESCO Global Geoparks in China as cases. Using municipal panel data from 2020 to 2024, it employs a coupling coordination degree model to assess the level of integration between the health and wellness and sports industries, and applies a dynamic Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method to explore the configurational pathways influencing integration effectiveness under different temporal contexts. The findings reveal that none of the six conditional variables alone constitutes a sufficient condition for achieving a high level of integration between the health and wellness and sports industries. However, the four identified configurational pathways remained stable overall, with no significant temporal effect, yet their specific performance evolved dynamically over time. Accordingly, recommendations are proposed to promote the integration of these industries in Global Geoparks through measures such as strengthening talent reserves, improving infrastructure, developing context-adapted product matrices, enhancing policy coordination, and establishing smart health platforms.
