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
While many studies have examined the influence of urbanization on income inequality, the study on the moderating effect of governance on the relationship between urbanization and income inequality remains quite inexistent. To fill this gap in the literature, the study examines the moderation of governance quality on the influence of urbanization on income inequality in 46 African economies from 1996 to 2020. A two stage system GMM estimation approach has been used to achieve this goal. The results unveil that the impact of urbanization on income inequality is positive and significant, meaning that increase in urbanization exacerbates income inequality in Africa. However, the results show that the improvement of governance quality could contribute to improve income distribution in urban areas. Interestingly, the results show that improving governance quality in Africa could contribute to spurring a positive urbanization which could contribute to promote urban economic growth and reduce income inequality.
