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 the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) serves as a strategic frontier for ecological civilization, existing scholarship lacks a systemic analysis of the co-evolutionary logic and governance configurations governing the synergistic green development (SGD). Utilizing panel data from 2011 to 2024, this study employs coupling coordination modeling, Social Network Analysis (SNA), and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to evaluate its synergistic developmental quality. The findings indicate that SGD levels exhibit a fluctuating upward trajectory, facilitating a paradigmatic shift from "downstream-led breakthroughs" toward "basin-wide inclusive upgrades". However, this progression has simultaneously induced intensified internal "center-periphery" polarization. Such spatial evolution has catalyzed a structural transformation of the association network, migrating from a polarized "dense-East, sparse-West" pattern toward a polycentric, grid-based collaborative ecosystem, as evidenced by the rise of inland hubs like Chongqing and Wuhan. Causally, high-efficiency synergy originates from structural spillovers within the Government-Market-Society (GMS) framework. Through the equivalence relation between capital investment and human capital, modernized social governance effectively compensates for the rigidities of administrative mandates. Consequently, the basin's driving mechanism demonstrates a spatial transition from "government-led compensatory intervention" in the upper reaches to "endogenous synergetic drive" in the lower reaches. This study elucidates a policy pathway for achieving sustainable regional growth through functional compensation and pathway substitution.
