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
This study examines the statistical associations between institutional factors, human capital, and sustainable transportation development in urban transport hubs within developing economies. Guided by North's institutional theory and human capital theory, it investigates how institutions and human capital are statistically associated with the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable transportation development, emphasizing statistically significant direct effects. Data were obtained from 354 transportation enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, via stratified probability sampling and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Results indicate that institutional factors exhibit both positive and negative statistical associations across the three dimensions, while the social and environmental dimensions are reciprocally associated with institutional factors in positive and negative ways, respectively. Likewise, human capital exhibits positive, statistically significant bidirectional relationships with the social and environmental dimensions, highlighting mutual reinforcement. By documenting these two-way relationships, the study advances theory and provides applied insights. In particular, it highlights the value of aligning regulations with enterprise needs and investing in human capital to guide policies that promote institutional effectiveness and sustainable urban mobility.
