Do environmental degradation and geopolitical risk hinder life expectancy? The role of institutional quality and technological innovation.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Environmental degradation (ED) and geopolitical risk (GPR) reduce life expectancy (LE) by worsening health through pollution and ecosystem damage, and by disrupting healthcare systems and basic services via conflicts, displacement, and food insecurity. Together, they create unstable living conditions that shorten lifespans. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact of ED, GPR, institutional quality (IQ) and technological innovation (TI) on LE in BRIC economies from 1993 to 2022. This study employed the second-generation econometrics technique. We used Cross-sectional augmented distributed lag (CS-ARDL), fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), and Dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) methods. The result shows that ED and GPR have negative effect on LE, while IQ, TI and GDP have positive effect on LE. These findings present enormous contributions, significant research implications to BRICS nations and development literature, and policy implications for LE of BRICS economies.
