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

Businesses play a critical role in the fight against climate change. While some businesses-both high-profile and less well-known-are making significant strides, most companies are not sufficiently decarbonizing their operations or contributing toward the broader social and economic changes needed to meet climate goals. In response to scrutiny over "greenwashing", many businesses are becoming cautious about communicating sustainability efforts, a phenomenon known as "greenhushing". This article aims to mainstream business climate action by introducing a new framework that outlines the roles businesses can adopt in addressing climate change. Based on an interdisciplinary literature review and empirical research from the UK, we identify five roles for businesses. While much focus has been on businesses as energy
