The impact of environmental knowledge on green purchasing intention: a higher-order model.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Currently, environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent, and global warming is intensifying. The promotion of green product purchases is of great significance to social sustainability. Based on this, this study constructs a higher-order model to analyze in depth how environmental knowledge influences the green purchasing intention of undergraduate students. A total of 343 data samples were collected for quantitative research. Smart partial least squares (Smart PLS) was used for data analysis to measure the relationship between variables. The results of this study show that students' green purchase intention is positively and significantly correlated with their environmental knowledge. Additionally, the relationship between environmental knowledge and students' green purchase intention is significantly mediated by green product attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. This study provides a theoretical foundation for enterprises to accurately define their product positioning and develop targeted marketing strategies, thereby enhancing the sales of their green products in the Chinese market. Moreover, it offers empirical evidence for governments and educational institutions to attach importance to the popularization of environmental knowledge and the deepening of green education.
