Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study examined the link between board composition and environment, social and governance (ESG) investment, and how financing decisions moderate this nexus. The study constructed hypotheses using insights derived from stakeholder and agency theories. We used secondary data from 2010 to 2022 to conduct an empirical analysis using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and Fixed Effect (FE) estimators. This study found a positive and significant relationship between board independence, sustainability committee, gender diversity, managerial ownership, board meetings and ESG investment. We also found a negative connection between CEO duality, board size, foreign nationals on the board, annual remuneration, and ESG investment. Furthermore, financing decisions significantly moderated the relationship between board composition and ESG investment. The results confirm the importance of board composition and financing decisions in ESG investment in Chinese manufacturing firms. The results show that splitting the CEO and chairperson roles and frequent board meetings can improve a company's ESG investment. Policymakers should facilitate company operations by providing regulations for ESG investment.
