Socio-economic, macroeconomic, demographic, and environmental variables as determinants of child mortality in South Asia.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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 study empirically examines the effects of socio-economic (human capital), macroeconomic (per capita GDP), demographic (fertility rate, urbanization), and environmental variables (carbon emissions) on child mortality in South Asia. For empirical analysis, panel cointegration technique is used by using data for five South Asian countries for the period 1973 to 2015. First, it is found that the variables have unit roots at levels but are stationary at first differences, which indicates the possibility of cointegration. Cointegration test results show that long-run cointegrating relationship holds among variables. Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) and Dynamic OLS (DOLS) methods are applied to find the parameter estimates. The results of long-run estimates show that human capital, per capita income, and urbanization reduce child mortality while high fertility rate and environmental degradation increase child mortality in the region. It is also found that trade openness, immunization, food security, and high life expectancy also decrease child mortality and that population density increases child mortality.
