The pain of breathing: how does haze pollution affect urban innovation?
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In China, innovation plays an important role in achieving economic development with green growth, but innovation activities are inhibited by the spread of haze pollution (also called smog). Using panel data on 265 cities in China at the prefectural level from 2001 to 2018, this paper investigates the relationship between haze pollution and urban innovation. The conclusions are as follows. First, haze pollution has a significant inhibitory effect on urban innovation. After we consider endogeneity, eliminate extreme values, replace variables, and incorporate spatial correlation, we find that the negative impact of haze pollution on urban innovation still exists. Second, the channels through which haze pollution affects urban innovation are mainly attributed to production efficiency, willingness to consume, and entrepreneurial activity. Third, the inhibitory effect of haze pollution on innovation has a spatial spillover effect. Fourth, among the different regions in China, the most serious inhibitory effect of haze pollution on innovation is in the central region, while that of the eastern and western regions is insignificant. Moreover, across diverse Chinese cities, the significant inhibitory effects of haze pollution on innovation are mainly in cities that are abundant in natural resource. Accordingly, the efficient management of haze pollution is a critical prerequisite and effective guarantee for increasing urban innovation, such as promoting clean energy, strengthening technological innovation, and improving human capital.
