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

Air pollution control is an urgent problem in the field of environment, and it is crucial to accurately identify emission driving factors and collaborative emission reduction paths. In order to construct and analyze the driving mechanism of atmospheric pollutant emissions and explore the potential for regional collaborative emission reduction, an innovative three-stage progressive analysis framework was developed by combining Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which includes factor decomposition, spatial modeling, and collaborative optimization. Through empirical analysis, it was found that the energy intensity effect in Tangshan city reduces emissions by an average of -14.834 million tons per year, becoming the core driving force. The synergistic emission reduction ratio of SO2-PM2.5 in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region reached 1: 0.38, with an average annual emission reduction of 297000 tons and a regional synergy index of 0.85 (p < 0.01), significantly better than other pollutant combinations. The adjusted R2 of the GWR model reached 0.86, the residual Moran's I index was 0.07, and the proportion of significant variables reached 75%, which is 15.28% higher than other models. In addition, the Akaike information criterion corrected by the GWR model was reduced by an average of 12.78% compared to other models. The results indicated that the synergistic effect of multi factor decomposition and spatial heterogeneity analysis could significantly enhance the regional adaptability of emission reduction strategies, providing scientific support for cross regional collaborative governance.
