Small, Local Governments and Their Management of Hydraulic Fracturing.
Article in Environmental management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Small, local governments are often considered "low capacity" when it comes to environmental management. This article examines how local government officials in 26 municipalities in Pennsylvania have managed high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF or "fracking"). The data show that the perception of the "problems" related to HVHF and perceived resident expectations for if and how local governments should respond to these problems vary by municipality with clear differences between municipalities with zoning and those without zoning. With the exception of one municipality with the unique circumstance of having both active natural gas and coal extraction occurring, all municipalities believed they had adequate capacity to manage the problems associated with HVHF. This result shows the importance of local responses to local problems and calls into question whether capacity-building efforts are necessary in low capacity municipalities.
