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
This study investigates the environmental consequences of China's mineral wealth and governance within the framework of the natural resource curse. The natural resource curse posits that countries rich in natural resources often experience less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. This phenomenon is particularly relevant for China, which has experienced significant mineral wealth since the 1990s. The primary aim of this research is to assess how China's mineral wealth and governance structures have influenced environmental outcomes from 1990 to 2022, using an econometric model. The results reveal three key findings: First, regions with higher mineral wealth have experienced more severe environmental degradation, particularly in terms of air and water pollution. Second, governance quality plays a critical role in moderating these effects, with better governance associated with less environmental harm. Third, economic growth driven by mineral wealth does not necessarily translate into improved environmental conditions, highlighting a disconnect between economic and environmental objectives. The policy implication is clear: to mitigate the environmental consequences of mineral wealth, China must strengthen its governance mechanisms and integrate environmental considerations into its resource management strategies.
