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

Road freight modeling was conducted to project freight flow and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 16 administrative regions of South Korea through 2050. Origin-destination matrices were constructed using a gravity model for each region. The modeling covered seven product categories for both inter-regional and intra-regional freight transportation and was validated using 2017 data. The total future freight flow is projected to increase from 1399 million tons in 2019 to 1701 million tons by 2035. However, after peaking in 2035, it is expected to decline to 1618 million tons by 2050, indicating that population decline will impact product demand, causing a reduction in freight flow despite continued economic growth. GHG emissions are projected to slightly decrease from 19.0 million kgCO
