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 intends to test the presence of β-convergence in the global Environmental Performance (EP). For this purpose, spatial Green Solow model is used as the theoretical framework of the study. Data of 88 developed and developing countries for the periods 1978-2017 is used. The present study utilizes ecological footprint (EF) as a comprehensive Environmental Performance Indicator (EPI). For data analysis, spatial econometric techniques have been used. To explore the spatial dependence of EP, Moran's I statistic was used. For regression analysis, this study has made the use of Spatial Durbin Model (SDM). Findings of the study indicate that there is positive spatial autocorrelation in the EP of the countries which means countries with similar EP are clustered together. Results of SDM confirm the existence of β-convergence in the global EP. Physical capital was found to degrade environment while break-even investment (BEI) was found to improve it.
