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

We studied the influence of finance, natural resources, and governance on environmental degradation and economic growth for seven countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) using the latest panel data over 1996-2018. Panel cointegration tests and the long-run algorithms capable of addressing endogeneity and cross-sectional dependence have been applied to analyze the variables' linkages. To explore the short-run causalities, we further utilized a panel heterogeneous causality test. Empirical estimates concluded that there is a mediating role of finance and governance on improving environmental quality and have a significant positive impression on the economic growth of the SAARC countries. The results supported the natural resources curse theory and substantially contributed to environmental emissions in the study area. The causal results concluded the unilateral causality from the environment to governance and bidirectional causality between finance and environmental degradation. Similarly, there were unilateral causal linkages between economic growth and natural resources, where links are bidirectional between natural resources and environmental degradation for SAARC countries. Based on the outcomes of the study, some policy implications are provided for theory and practice.
