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

The River Chief System (RCS) in China plays a crucial role in addressing transboundary water pollution (TWP), which is vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of "clean water." This study examines the static and dynamic effects of the RCS on TWP using a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) model and manually collected RCS data from 104 counties between 2007 and 2020. The results show that the RCS significantly reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 15.9% and ammonia nitrogen (NH
