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

Environmental stress has emerged as a critical driver of population displacement, yet its interaction with migration intentions remains underexplored. This study investigates how environmental vulnerability shapes individuals' intentions to migrate, drawing on the push-pull theory of migration. Data were collected from residents of high-risk environmental zones in China and analyzed using a dual-stage approach. The findings reveal that environmental stress and perceived economic opportunities significantly influence migration intentions, with perceived risk mediating the effect of environmental stress. Moreover, policy awareness moderates the relationship between perceived economic opportunity and migration intention. The results highlight environmental stress as the most influential factor, underscoring the importance of proactive policies to reduce involuntary migration and strengthen community resilience. This study contributes to migration research by integrating environmental, economic, and policy perspectives, offering valuable insights for both scholars and policymakers.
