Horizontal ecological compensation and urban resilience: mechanisms of low-carbon transformation.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: This study investigates the socioeconomic impacts of horizontal ecological compensation (HEC) policies in China, focusing on their role in mitigating environmental degradation and enhancing urban resilience. Methods: We utilize panel data from 180 cities in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins (2007-2022) and construct an Inclusive and Resilient City (IRC) index. Policy effects are evaluated through a multi-period quasi-natural experiment. Results: The results indicate that HEC policies are associated with a 0.3% average increase in the IRC index, primarily driven by improvements in green innovation and industrial upgrading. These mechanisms contribute to reducing pollution-related health risks and enhance urban resilience against environmental stressors. While the average increase appears modest, it represents a meaningful improvement in urban well-being within the constraints of regional development and ecological sustainability. The robustness of these findings is confirmed through multiple tests, including parallel trend analysis and placebo tests. Discussion: This research highlights HEC policies as an innovative policy tool that balances environmental protection with socioeconomic development. To strengthen their impact, policy optimization is recommended, aiming to further alleviate the socioeconomic burdens of environmental degradation and improve public health in urban areas.
