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
Urbanization serves as an engine for economic development, yet the risk of "carbon lock-in" caused by infrastructure and consumption patterns threatens long-term sustainability. Studying the synergistic effects and regional differences between China's new urbanization (NU) and zero-carbon strategies (ZCS) is a crucial economic and social issue for China to participate in global climate governance and achieve urban modernization. This study systematically analyzed the evolution law and regional differences of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) between NU and TFCEE by employing the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method, coupling coordination model, Dagum-Gini coefficient, and convergence model. The findings are as follows: (1) The coupling coordination level (CCL) between NU and Total-factor carbon emission efficiency (TFCEE) has been increasing year by year, with the eastern region taking the lead in forming intermediate coordination and maintaining a leading position; (2) In terms of intra-regional differences, the CCL in the eastern, central, and northeastern regions exhibit a fluctuating decline, whereas those in the western region demonstrate a fluctuating increase. In terms of inter-regional differences, the disparity between the eastern and western regions (east-west) stands out as the most prominent. Here, inter-regional variations play a primary role in accounting for the overall inequalities; (3) In the σ-convergence and β-convergence analyses, the spatial imbalance in the western region is more pronounced, indicating that although the western region has shown a positive catch-up effect, the absolute gap with the eastern region has not yet narrowed due to differences in initial conditions. In general, the CCD between NU and TFCEE is gradually optimizing, but the spatial imbalance remains prominent, especially in the western region, which urgently needs to be improved through targeted policy guidance.
