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

One of the Sustainable Development Goals is to enable cities to thrive, improve resource efficiency, and reduce pollution. However, balancing economic development with pollution control and fostering green growth remains a major challenge for developing countries. This study, using panel data from 284 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2006 to 2020, evaluates urban green economy efficiency (GEE). Then, adopting implementation of "12th Five-Year Plan for Key Regional Air Pollution Prevention and Control" in China as a quasi-natural experiment, this study investigates the impact of air pollution prevention and control (APPC) on urban GEE. Findings reveal an overall upward trajectory in urban GEE across China, marked by discernible regional differentiations following implementation of national Plan. Considering the "hysteresis effect" and spatially "pollution halo effect", APPC notably improves urban GEE, particularly within cities of eastern zone, high-population density cities, large-sized cities, non resource-based cities and major-APPC cities. Importantly, APPC acts as a catalyst for both enhancing green innovation quality and optimizing industrial structures, ultimately fostering urban GEE in China. These findings are significant and also provide a valuable supplement to the existing study.
