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

Environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) of contractors in megaprojects is crucial for promoting sustainability, but how to trigger and predict it remains unclear. This study integrates moral identity and corporate green culture into the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to develop an extended TPB (ETPB). Based on a questionnaire survey (N = 181) from Chinese megaprojects, we found that (1) contractors' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control positively influence their intentions to engage in ERB; (2) perceived behavioral control, intentions, moral identity, and corporate green culture positively influence ERB; and (3) the explanatory power (R
