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

Sustainability is a strategic choice for the transition to a green economy in China. Improving green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE) is the key to realizing the dual targets of energy-saving and economic growth. This paper empirically tests the nonlinear effects of environmental regulation on technical innovation affecting GTFEE by using panel data of 271 prefecture-level cities in China from 2004 to 2019. Meanwhile, a system GMM approach is used to verify the channels through which technical innovation affects GTFEE. Finally, the spatial and temporal characteristics of technical innovation affecting GTFEE are analyzed from the perspective of environmental regulation. The empirical results are as follows: (1) Technical innovation can significantly improve GTFEE. However, this improvement effect is a threshold characteristic; when environmental regulation is above the threshold value, technical innovation has a greater improvement effect on GTFEE. (2) Besides directly influencing GTFEE, technical innovation can also indirectly influence GTFEE via channels such as economic growth effect, industrial structure upgrading effect, and foreign investment effect. Meanwhile, indirect influence channels also show environmental regulation heterogeneity. (3) The number of cities crossing the threshold of environmental regulation in China increases year by year, which helps technical innovation play a role in improving GTFEE. However, there are still a small number of cities that do not cross the threshold during the sample period, which should attract the attention of local governments.
