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

This study performs the augmented autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to investigate the impact of renewable energy and health expenditures on the load capacity factor in Japan and the United States of America (USA) over the period 1982-2016. The load capacity factor is obtained by dividing the biocapacity into the ecological footprint and provides a general picture of environmental quality. Thus, the study departs from the current literature by approaching environmental problems from a broader perspective. The results of this study confirm the existence of cointegration in the USA and Japan. The long-run estimates demonstrate that renewable energy and health expenditures improve environmental quality in the USA, while renewable energy has a positive but insignificant impact on load capacity factor in Japan. It has also been determined economic growth causes significant environmental degradation, which cannot be compensated by renewables and health expenditures in both countries. According to these findings, Japanese and American governments should promote green growth, support the increase in health expenditures, and diversify renewable energy sources to reduce environmental pressure.
