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
Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has gained increasing attention as a means of ensuring sustainable manufacturing and a sustainable society. This study examines the relationship between GSCM practices and top management performance to understand its effect on low-carbon performance, sustainable manufacturing, and sustainable society. Data were gathered from 389 top-, middle-, and lower-level managers working in bag-manufacturing firms in India. The data were analyzed using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. The findings indicate positive and significant relationships among the constructs, with "green product and product design" showing the most substantial influence on "top management performance" (β = 0.274, p < 0.001). This top management performance significantly boosts "low carbon performance" (β = 0.375, p < 0.001), which in turn positively impacts "sustainable manufacturing" (β = 0.283, p < 0.001) and "sustainable society" (β = 0.347, p < 0.001). The SEM model explained 20% of the variance in "top management performance," 19.5% in "low carbon performance," 16.1% in "sustainable society," and 14.7% in "sustainable manufacturing." The link between "low-carbon performance" and "Top Management Performance" is found to have a medium effect size, indicating a strong and discernible correlation between the two variables. In practical terms, an organization will likely make significant strides toward sustainability and carbon emissions reduction when senior management actively supports and implements these measures. This study highlights that adopting GSCM practices is limited to improving firm performance and goes beyond creating sustainable manufacturing and society. This study is in the exploratory stage and adopts a holistic approach to understand the impacts of GSCM practices. Further studies on GSCM practices should be conducted to gain deeper insights. The model provides a broader picture for manufacturers to develop a long-term vision while adopting GSCM practices for sustainable manufacturing and sustainability.
