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
Promoting greener and sustainable development is one of the main goals of the most recent 14th Five-Year Plan (i.e., 2021-2025). Environmental regulation is seen as fundamental to green transformation and an important way for all of China to reach a high-quality and sustainable development mode. However, large spatial disparities exist across the different regions in China, so formulating region-oriented environmental regulatory policies to achieve regional high-quality and sustainable development is now a matter of great practical significance. In the present paper, we analyze this problem and begin by calculating the high development level measured through the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) of 259 Chinese cities. Thereafter we construct a comprehensive index of environmental regulation through the linear weighted-sum method. Lastly, we investigate the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the impact of environmental regulation on GTFP using a Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR) model. We find that: (1) From the spatial dimension perspective, the impact of environmental regulation of Chinese cities on GTFP is either linear (monotonically increasing or decreasing), non-linear (U-shaped or inverted U-shaped), or nonsignificant. Most cities have a U-shaped relationship, indicating that environmental regulation first inhibits GTFP at the early stage, but then promotes it. There are also significant differences among cities in the turning points of environmental regulation; (2) From the time dimension perspective, the number of cities is on the rise having monotonically decreasing impacts of environmental regulation on GTFP. Furthermore, even for the same city, the relationship between the two variables shows different characteristics in different years; (3) The impact of five control variables on GTFP may also vary from one city to another over the sample period, also presenting spatiotemporal heterogeneity effects. Consequently, the formulation and implementation of environmental regulatory policies should not only adapt to local conditions but also choose reasonable and effective measures to achieve high-quality development targets.
