Ecological governance and population subjective wellbeing: the mediating role of social trust.

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
Although previous research has shown that governance quality is associated with subjective wellbeing, two gaps remain. First, governance is usually treated as an institutional performance construct, with limited attention to whether governance contexts that combine institutional quality and ecological performance are linked to population wellbeing. Second, the psychosocial pathway underlying this relationship remains underexplored, especially from an environmental psychology perspective that treats social and ecological contexts as conditions of lived wellbeing. This study addresses these gaps by examining ecological-philosophy-oriented governance, defined here as a composite macro-level governance orientation integrating governance quality and ecological performance. Using cross-national secondary data from 312 country-wave observations across 86 countries from 2005 to 2022, drawn from the WVS/EVS, WGI, and EPI, we tested whether social trust mediates the association between ecological-philosophy-oriented governance and population subjective wellbeing. The results showed that ecological-philosophy-oriented governance was positively associated with subjective wellbeing (β = 0.287,
