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: For communities to effectively reduce disasters, the mobilization and guidance of urban residents' emergency behavior are essential. Community disaster reduction efforts can become more targeted and accurate when the different influencing factors behind different types of emergency behavior are clearly understood. Methods: We classify emergency behavior into two categories-self-help and mutual aid-based on differences in residents' behavioral motivations. A coupled "cognition-environment-behavior" driving model has been constructed, drawing upon social cognition theory, to study the mechanisms that drive residents' emergency actions. The research empirically analyzes factors influencing residents' emergency behavior during community disasters, utilizing a sample dataset from 72 communities across China that included 6,817 participants. Results: Three findings are obtained from this study. (1) The extent of residents' emergency knowledge and skills, with the public dissemination of community information, significantly affects the adoption of self-help emergency behavior. (2) Emergency emotional states, alongside community cultural propaganda, tend to promote mutual aid emergency behavior. (3) Experience with disasters significantly moderates how the community's disaster mitigation environment affects residents' emergency behavior. Discussion: This study not only emphasize key differences in factors across various types of resident behavior but also offer theoretical direction and practical points of reference for enabling targeted responses in community disaster mitigation.
