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

In the context of recurrent public health emergencies, mobilizing cooperation-oriented protective behavior is important for strengthening collective resilience and public governance. Existing research has explained many individual protective behaviors, but less is known about how the structure of the communication environment is associated with protective behaviors that also generate collective benefits. Guided by the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) and risk communication research, this study develops a communication-structure framework encompassing information sources, communication content, message presentation formats, and communication channels. Risk perception is specified as a statistical mediating mechanism, and trust in authoritative information sources is examined as a moderating condition. Using survey data from 11 provinces in China (
