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 aims to investigate the influence of institutional capacity on the relationship between financial development and environmental quality and also examines the moderating role of corruption on the link between institutional quality and environmental quality. By using yearly data from 33 developing countries for 7 years from 2011 to 2017, this paper applies a dynamic technique system GMM. The results suggest that financial development increases environmental degradation due to possible higher energy-intensive investment. However, institutional capacity moderates its impact on environmental quality by channelizing the funds to energy-efficient investment. The findings of this study suggest that financial development improves the environmental quality when institutional capacity is higher than 3.5 on the scale of 0 to 6. Interestingly, institutional capacity is unable to control environmental degradation in the presence of corruption. The results propose that financial development has a positive relation with environmental degradation in the presence of corruption. Nevertheless, relationship between institutional capacity and environmental degradation turns to negative when corruption improves in the economies. Furthermore, the findings show that institutional capacity may only control environmental degradation when corruption improves to 40 or higher on a scale of 0 to 100. The policy implications of this study are useful for policy departments, environmental regulatory bodies, and financial institutions.
