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 article investigates the relationship between economic growth in cattle farming and environmental degradation through the lens of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2020. The study tests whether the EKC model, which suggests an inverted U-shape between economic growth and environmental degradation, holds true for the cattle sector. Using panel data models and various environmental proxies, including sector-specific emissions (CO
