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

Disasters pose significant challenges to global sustainable development, yet their impact on the synergy effects among Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains underexplored. Using panel data from 137 countries with relatively complete records (2010-2022), this study employs double fixed-effects model and mediation effects model to analyze how disasters affect the synergy effects among 13 SDGs (SDG1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17). Results indicate that disasters weaken the synergy effects among SDGs, with negative effects persisting for 2 years. Droughts and extreme temperatures exert particularly negative effects. While human capital and government governance mitigate this impact, trade openness exacerbates it. Furthermore, low- and middle-income countries are more vulnerable, with disasters primarily weakening the synergy effects between SDG1 and other SDGs, as well as between SDG3 and others. These findings offer insights for formulating targeted disaster response strategies to foster sustainable development.
