1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Air pollution has an important impact on both human health and sustainable economic development. The relationship of the current account, which is an important carrier of international economic activity, with air pollution has rarely been discussed by scholars. This paper aims to investigate how air pollution affects the current account and the mechanism of this effect. We conducted a theoretical analysis of the relationship between air pollution and the current account by adopting an extended form of the life-cycle model. Then, we used panel data (2000-2017) from 159 countries and the panel double fixed-effect method to empirically test the theoretical outcomes. We found that an increase in the degree of air pollution in a country leads to the deterioration of the domestic current account. In addition, air pollution changes the current account by affecting the demographic structure, following the "air pollution→demographic structure→current account" mechanism. The study also tested the robustness of the benchmark results by solving endogeneity problems, subsample regression and controlling measurement errors. Our findings are an important expansion and innovation for the research about the current account and have important implications for external economic equilibrium and sustainable economic development.
