Benefits of environmental information disclosure in managing water pollution: evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Environmental information disclosure (EID) is playing an increasingly important role in water pollution management. However, since EID is hard to measure and other endogeneity problems, it is difficult to capture the causal inference between the two. Using the difference-in-difference method, this paper takes advantage of the Pollution Source Regulatory Information Disclosure Index (PITI) program promulgated by China in 2008 as a quasi-natural experiment to empirically capture the net effect of EID on water pollution management and its impact mechanism. The results show that from the average treatment effects perspective, the PITI strongly promote water pollution management. However, the dynamic effects of PITI present a decreasing and weakening trend over time. Further mechanism analysis reveals that PITI improves water pollution management mainly through the technological innovation effect. Several robustness checks justify our findings. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the PITI has a greater positive impact on water pollution management in cities located in the southern areas and with high economic levels and with a larger population.
