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

Purpose: Grounded in the frameworks of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Sustainable Development Goal 4.7 (SDG 4.7), this study explores how support mechanisms in experiential learning within tourism management influence students' sustained engagement through processes of internalization. Methods: A qualitative research design was adopted. Guided by constructivist grounded theory, semi-structured interviews were conducted with tourism management teachers ( Findings: The findings indicate that: (1) teacher instructional guidance demonstrates a dual-pathway structure consisting of structured guidance and reflective-emotional guidance, which provides students with action pathways and regulates uncertain learning contexts; (2) student participation support sustains the progression of learning through mechanisms of cognitive coordination and emotion regulation; and (3) during sustained engagement, these forms of support are gradually internalized, manifested in the formation of psychological safety, which further reinforces self-efficacy and participation interest, and ultimately transforms into stable positive psychological experiences, thereby supporting sustained engagement. Conclusion: From a process-oriented perspective, this study reveals the formation mechanism of support-internalization-sustained engagement in experiential learning within tourism management education.
