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

The persistent dwindling of the biocapacity has caused the ecological footprint (EF) to keep increasing in the top ten tourist destinations over the last three decades. Moreso, economic growth, natural resource rent, and urbanization substantially increased for the same period. Tourism contributes to economic prosperity. However, growth in tourism promotes an increase in energy consumption, natural resource exploration, transportation, and consequential ecological distortions. It is important to understand the predictors of EF to suggest suitable policies for environmental sustainability. Hence, this study examines the predictors of EF by considering factors that could influence EF. More precisely, the study analyzes the linkage among economic growth, natural resource rent, urbanization, energy intensity, and tourism using some of the most advanced and reliable econometric techniques, such as Westerlund's (J Appl Econ 23(2):193-233, 2008) cointegration technique, and the continuously updated full modified (CUP-FM) and continuously updated bias-corrected (CUP-BC), long-run estimators. The outcomes of the analysis indicate that EF has a negative association with urbanization and natural resources, which implies that an abundance of natural resources and increasing urban population can help to reduce environmental degradation. Likewise, energy intensity helps in decreasing EF, while economic growth adds to EF. Tourist arrival and tourist receipt also add to EF and, therefore, negatively affect environmental quality. Finally, policy directions are discussed to reduce environmental degradation without reducing economic growth.
