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

The influence of pandemics is still a black box, and the mechanism is attracting the attention of policymakers and scholars to guide the policy design in the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemics. This paper takes an in-depth look at the performance impact of pandemics from the perspective of operation, which is essential in a comprehensive evaluation of the economic effects of pandemics. With the help of novel quarterly data of Chinese listed firms from 2019 Q1 to 2021 Q2, we find that the Covid-19 decreases the sale-related profitability. For the mechanism, this paper finds that the pandemics make the operation longer, increase the cost, and reduce the potential cash flows. In addition, the environmental tax can significantly weaken the adverse shocks. The policy implication is that the sale boosting or consumption stimulus is vital in economic recovery, and the governments should efficiently use the positive effect of environmental tax.
