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

Introduction: In the context of intensified global climate change and increasing environmental constraints, green innovation has emerged as a critical pathway for promoting sustainable national development. As leading economies in Asia, China, Japan, and South Korea have demonstrated distinct approaches to green innovation, making them valuable cases for comparative study. This study aims to identify key factors and configuration paths influencing the sustainable development of national green innovation. Methods: Using the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method and national-level public data, this research constructs multi-factor configurational models to examine how government policy, R\&D investment, clean energy supply and demand, renewable energy share, and environmental greening collectively impact green innovation performance. Robustness checks and country-specific coverage analyses were conducted to ensure the reliability of the findings. Results: The results reveal three dominant configurations driving green innovation: (1) the synergy between government leadership and R\&D investment; (2) dual-driven paths combining clean energy supply and demand; and (3) a synchronized increase in renewable energy share and environmental greening. Country-specific analysis shows that Japan aligns most closely with the first configuration, reflecting its emphasis on industrial structure and policy-driven innovation. China exhibits strong compatibility with the second configuration, highlighting its diversified strategy and market-based mechanisms. South Korea demonstrates the highest coverage in the third configuration, emphasizing clean energy supply and urban greening efforts. Discussion: This study concludes that sustainable green innovation development depends on the synergy of multiple factors, and that countries should tailor their strategies based on national resource endowments and policy orientations. The research contributes to the literature by extending the configurational approach to green innovation and offers practical insights for designing differentiated and effective green development policies.
