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

Objective: Against the backdrop of continued expansion in the scale of county-level public sport service provision in China without commensurate improvement in residents' user experience, and with persistent disparities in perceived gains between urban and rural areas, this study treats satisfaction with urban-rural sports integration as the outcome variable. It assesses the level of satisfaction and examines the roles of digital linkage and village-level supply capacity in shaping satisfaction differences, while quantifying the contribution of village context. Methods: A nationally stratified survey was conducted ( Results: The overall satisfaction score was 3.37 (moderately high), with the lowest ratings related to the fitness e-map. The scale showed high internal consistency (α = 0.9736), and the first principal component explained 69.09% of the total variance. Village-level heterogeneity was substantial (ICC = 0.2114). Digital linkage was positively associated with satisfaction (β = 0.1244, Conclusions: Residents' perceived gains are driven primarily by village-level organization and human resource provision. Digital platforms cannot substitute for offline service delivery. County-level governance should shift from expanding provision to improving usability, prioritizing the development of social sports instructor teams and organizational operations, enhancing the quality and fit of volunteer services, and promoting routine updating and user-friendly design of the fitness e-map.
