The impact of environmental pollution on China's economic growth from the perspective of health damage.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: Achieving an optimal economic growth rate is a cornerstone of high-quality development. Among the diverse factors influencing economic growth, environmental pollution and health-related issues have emerged as critical concerns in recent years. Methods: This study develops a five-sector endogenous growth model that incorporates the effects of environmental pollution on health. The model theoretically examines the mechanisms through which environmental pollution and health jointly influence economic growth. Using panel data from 285 Chinese cities spanning 2002 to 2022, we empirically analyze the impact of environmental quality and health levels on economic growth, based on comprehensive measurements of these variables in Chinese urban areas. Results: The findings indicate that environmental quality and health are key drivers of economic growth. Specifically, environmental pollution not only directly hampers economic growth but also indirectly impedes it by degrading public health. Discussion: These results underscore the importance of implementing robust environmental pollution control policies and improving public health standards. By reducing the adverse effects of environmental pollution on health, policymakers can mitigate the risk of environmental and health deterioration, thereby safeguarding China's pursuit of high-quality economic development.
