The independent directors' Communist Party of China member status and firms' ESG performance: Evidence from Chinese listed firms.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), this study aims to explore the relationship between independent directors who are CPC members and firms' ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance. We use a sample of 30,629 A-share firms in China for the period 2012-2021. Our main results show that CPC membership among independent directors can significantly improve firms' ESG performance, with board meetings serving as an important mechanism for this effect. We also examine the impact of CPC membership on external supervision, attention levels, "full and strict governance over the Party", and ownership nature. The influence of independent directors' CPC membership on firms' ESG performance is greater in companies lacking external supervision, those with higher attention levels, and in state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
