Measuring destination image dissonance: A compositional data analysis of cross-media representations in Sanya's Tourism.
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
This study examines Sanya's tourism image disparities across cognitive, spatial, and affective dimensions in Press Generated Content (PGC), Tourist Generated Content (TGC), and Official Generated Content (OGC) (2013-2022), comparing pre-pandemic (2013-2019) and COVID-19 (2020-2022) periods. Results show: cognitive consistency in "tourism/hotels" but TGC focusing on "coastal + food" vs. PGC/OGC emphasizing policy elements; spatial misalignment between policy-driven spaces and tourists' preferred spaces, revealing a systematic dissonance between institutional promotion and on-the-ground practices; affective dominance of "enjoyment/romance" but TGC expressing unmet needs and OGC suppressing negatives. Systematic cognitive divergence exists between official and tourist narratives. The Aitchison distance measuring this divergence jumps from 19.574 in the pre-pandemic phase (2013-2019) to 40.648 during the pandemic-impacted phase (2020-2022), demonstrating that structural gaps between the two narrative systems become more pronounced amid the public health crisis. Targeted strategies are accordingly proposed to narrow such narrative discrepancies.
