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

This study evaluates the environmental governance efficiency (EGE) of 30 Chinese provinces using an enhanced neutral cross-efficiency network DEA model. Following the "attention-action-outcome" framework, EGE is divided into response efficiency (EGRE) and implementation efficiency (EGIE). Results show that while EGE exhibits a fluctuating upward trend, it remained low at 0.254 in 2022. EGIE outperforms EGRE on the whole but is more volatile. The eastern region achieves the highest efficiencies, while the western region performs the worst. Intra-group disparities significantly exceed inter-group disparities for all three types of efficiency. Moreover, the development disparities in EGIE have roughly exhibited a fluctuating downward trend since 2016. A quadrant analysis offers region-specific recommendations to improve EGE and support sustainable development.
