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 enhancement of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance represents a crucial aspect of the broader green transformation agenda. Using a DID design, this paper examines the impact of China's low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policy on the corporate ESG performance. Our findings demonstrate that the construction of LCCP exerts a positive influence on corporate ESG performance in pilot regions, particularly in industries and areas with high carbon emission intensity. Channel analyses reveal that LCCP policy heightens the environmental concerns of local governments and the public. Furthermore, LCCP policy has a crowding out effect with firms located in the surrounding cities. This paper responds to the calls for the determinants of ESG and enriches the understanding of policy impacts on corporate sustainability practices.
