The impact of air pollution on employment mobility of college graduates in the Yangtze River Delta.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The group of college graduates is the top priority for stabilizing employment in China. This research explores the impact of air pollution on the employment flow of college graduates in the Yangtze River Delta by collecting and matching PM2.5 satellite data in grid form and the data from employment quality reports. The air flow coefficient is used as an instrumental variable of air pollution. Research has shown that there is a negative correlation between air pollution levels in a student's city of study and the likelihood of college graduates staying in the region after graduation. Namely, higher levels of air pollution are associated with lower intraregional stickiness rates. Also, graduate students are more susceptible to the effects of air pollution than undergraduates. And the impact of air pollution on the employment mobility of graduates is greater for those who attended public colleges and universities compared to those who attended private institutions. The conclusions of this research demonstrate the importance of air pollution governance in relation to graduate employment mobility and provide both theoretical support and empirical evidence for local authorities to manage and improve environmental quality and graduate employment opportunities.
