The environmental effects of monocentric urban spatial structure with city-level evidence from China.
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
Spatial structure adjustment has become one of the important means to improve urban environments. However, what is the impact of urban spatial structure on environment? Research on this issue will be beneficial for the improvement of urban environmental quality. Based on panel data from 285 cities at China's city level from 2006 to 2020, this paper empirically studies the effects of urban spatial structure on environment and explores the potential influencing mechanisms. The findings are as follows: (1) Monocentric urban spatial structure increases environmental pollution. (2) The influencing mechanisms mainly include private transportation, population agglomeration, and natural purification. (3) The impact of urban spatial structure on pollution exhibits a positive "U"-shaped nonlinear relationship, with an initial decrease followed by an increase as the degree of monocentric dominance in cities increases.
