Exploring the role of environmental pollution and trade openness in human health in the context of sustainable development.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Carbon-neutral development can significantly reduce the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere and the occurrence of human health problems through the use of clean energy and promotion of energy efficiency. Both environmental pollution and trade openness are important factors that affect human health, and this paper verifies the relationship between the three by using systematic GMM modeling. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) At the national level, although trade openness inhibits human health, this effect is not significant. From the perspective of different regions, trade openness can enhance public health in the eastern region but is unfavorable to human health in the central and western regions. (2) Environmental pollution reduces the human health level in all regions; however, it is not significant in the eastern region, which is related to the high proportion of clean energy, and the central and western regions are mainly dominated by and overly dependent on the energy industry, thus causing serious negative impacts on the environment, which is not conducive to human health. (3) Urbanization and human health show a significant and homogeneous relationship in the national and eastern samples, fail the test of significance in the central region, and have a lower level of significance in the western region. Increases in public health expenditures reduce population mortality, and the effect is significant in all regions. Increasing population size has a significant dampening effect on human health at the national level and in the western and central regions, but there is a positive ameliorating effect in the eastern region. Environmental regulatory policies can be effective in reducing population mortality in all regions, thus enhancing human health.
