The impact of foreign direct investment on sustainable development in China.

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 purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on sustainable development (SD) in China by using a regression model. Based on a panel date ranging from 1996 to 2016, this study makes an assessment of how development is sustained by means of an impose response function model. The findings revealed that, first, FDI has an insignificant influence on environmental quality in the long run but aids in financing physical capital deficits. Second, there exists the presence of the pollution halo hypothesis. In addition, in the short-term, pollution variables (sulfur dioxide and smoke and dust) cause significant variances on the amount of FDI inflows into China. However, they significantly lose their variation effect to FDI inflows in the long run due to the utilization of advanced technologies. Lastly, it is recommended that stricter environmental policies and strategies are implemented to curtail foreign investors from defaulting.
