Cultural innovation driven nonlinear impact: New quality productivity and cultural consumption's high-carbon trap.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Against global net-zero carbon goals and China's "dual carbon" goals, cultural consumption remains trapped in a high-carbon trap (HCT), hindering the sustainable development of environmental and social systems. Using benchmark regression and a mediating effect model, this study explores how new quality productivity (NQP) impacts carbon emissions from cultural consumption. Findings reveal a non-linear "first promoting, then inhibiting" effect of NQP on such emissions. It is worth noting that cultural innovation (CI) serves as a transmission mechanism through which NQP exerts an inverted U-shaped relationship on the HCT in cultural consumption. In addition, energy transition (ET) plays a regulatory role in the inverted U-shaped outcome, which can enhance the inhibitory effect of NQP on carbon emissions from cultural consumption. Overall, this study extends the Environmental Kuznets Curve theory to cultural consumption, offering causal insights and actionable policy implications for the sustainable transformation of environment-social systems.
