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
In the context of rapid urbanization, the transformation of linear hydraulic heritage from productive landscapes to high-quality cultural spaces is a pivotal issue for sustainable development. Taking the Huai'an section of the China Grand Canal as a case study, this research explores the coupling mechanism between heritage value perception and tourist experience demand within a non-Western cultural route. Addressing the insufficient attention paid by existing literature to the dynamic evolution of production-and-transport heritage, this study adopts a systems theory perspective. It utilizes Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) to reveal the holistic mapping relationship between two sets of multidimensional variables. The findings indicate that the relationship between heritage value perception and experience demand is not a simple linear correspondence, but rather a significant heterogenetic driving mechanism. Particularly, the strong coupling effect of narrative value and the spirit of place on educational experience demands identifies the core variables through which Grain Transport Cultural Route enhances local identity and spatial perception. The study further reveals the constraints of social stratification on heritage consumption, confirming the moderating effects of cultural capital and social background in the "perception-demand" transformation process. By challenging static preservation views, this study proposes a dynamic, multidimensional evolutionary model of heritage cognition. It provides an analytical framework and policy guidelines for soft-power transformation and segmented protection of linear heritage in non-European contexts, offering a significant theoretical contribution to heritage functional activation in urban sustainable development.
