Sports tourism motivation and tourist satisfaction in resort Ski tourism: A distal mediation model of tourist expectation and experience quality.
Article in PloS one, 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
The popularity of leisure skiing culture presents a paradox with declining visitor satisfaction, and this study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms influencing tourist satisfaction in leisure ski tourism through a distal mediation model. Data were collected from 302 valid samples at Changbaishan Wanda International Ski Resort within the Changbaishan National Reserve in Jilin Province, Northeast China, using mixed offline-online methods. Structural equation modeling was conducted via IBM SPSS Statistics and AMOS 26.0, utilizing maximum likelihood estimation combined with Bollen-Stine bootstrap for hypothesis testing. While direct effects confirmed all hypotheses except hypothesis 5, results further revealed significant positive mediating effects: sport tourism motivation exhibited a distal mediation effect on tourist satisfaction through tourist expectation and experience quality and an independent mediation effect through experience quality alone. These findings collectively demonstrate that tourist expectation and experience quality mediate the relationship between motivation and satisfaction in leisure skiing contexts.
