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

While mobility justice has been the subject of much research, it is unclear to what degree the insights of the field are applied in national and EU-level transport policy. This work examines this question empirically by analysing transport strategies for the EU and Finland. The avoid-shift-improve framework is used to assess the effectiveness of the policy measures proposed for moving towards a more sustainable transport system. The results indicate that the justice dimension of sustainable mobility is not fully considered in transport policy and that car dependence and the inequalities caused by it are mostly referenced in an indirect way. While a shift to sustainable modes is advocated, there is a heavy focus on technological solutions. Electric vehicles and sustainable alternative fuels, the key technologies for transport decarbonisation, will, however, do little to reduce transport-related inequalities.
