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
The present study utilises 2,741 data points from the 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS) to explore the intrinsic relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), environmental awareness (EA) and environmental protection behaviours (EPB), as well as their heterogeneous characteristics. The investigation employs linear regression and stepwise regression methods to analyse the data.The study's findings are as follows. Firstly, the study found that SES has a significant positive effect on residents' environmental protection behaviour, and high SES groups are more likely to implement environmental protection behaviours due to the advantages of resource access and environmental education.Secondly, environmental perceptions have been found to play a mediating role, thereby suggesting that economic status can indirectly drive behavioural change by enhancing environmental perceptions. The investigation also reveals significant generational and regional variations, with the environmental behaviour of the elderly being most influenced by SES due to abundant time resources and intergenerational transmission motives. The central region is identified as having the most prominent role of SES in promoting environmental behaviour, owing to the uneven coverage of policies during the transition period of environmental governance.This study aims to provide a reference for other developing countries as they formulate environmental policies, with a view to advancing global green and sustainable development.
