Uncovering hidden cross-regional environmental risks: Network evidence from off-site penalties and implications for pollution transfer in China.
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
The pressures of economic development and environmental governance are growing increasingly intense. This study uses 2014-2023 off-site environmental penalty data of Chinese listed firms to construct weighted intercity networks of cross-regional environmental violation linkages and compares the spatial patterns between firms in polluting industries and those in other industries via social network analysis, spatial statistics, and geographical detector methods. The results show that cross-regional environmental violation linkages have become increasingly dense, with firms in other industries accounting for a fast-growing share of cross-city violations, and these linkages exhibit significant spatial clustering patterns. Specifically, levels of economic development, industrial structure, and financial capacity are positively and significantly associated with cities' network centrality and intensity, while environmental regulation and public health factors show no significant associations. These findings contribute to the literature by offering a behavioral and outcome-based perspective on cross-regional environmental violations and highlighting the need for unified governance frameworks.
