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

In order to evaluate how residents choose savings and consumption behavior within the context of the income changes, which resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper constructed a conditional process model to study the impact of residents' declining income on their low risk savings behavior and advanced consumption behavior from a cognitive perspective. We found that residents with declining income preferred low risk savings and advanced consumption behavior; residents with lower incomes, whose original income was higher, were more likely to be influenced by anxiety about perceived emergency supply shortages. The moderating role of social trust emerged only after supply shortage anxiety mediated the effect, and this moderation differed significantly based on construal level. This paper explored the impact of declining income and the emotional fluctuations that resulted from the COVID-19 epidemic on the differential choice of residents' savings and consumption behavior. It can provide microeconomic guidance for similar emergencies in the future.
