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

Air pollution poses significant health risks and influences migration patterns, making it a global concern with widespread implications. Understanding its effects on where migrants choose to reside can provide insights for addressing environmental and social challenges. Matching micro-survey data of 1.048 million migrants in China with the air quality data of 360 cities (2011-2017), we identified a significant negative impact of air pollution on migrants' willingness to reside. The subgroups of migrants with different household registration (urban and rural Hukou), occupation, education, income, and rent are affected by air pollution. During the observation period, the contribution of air pollution control to migrants' willingness to reside is 77.6% of the contribution of rising wage and exceeds the absolute value of the adverse contribution of rising house price. These findings suggest that air pollution control can promote environmental and socioeconomic progress by attracting more migrants, mitigating environmental injustice, and reducing inequality.
