Smart city projects against COVID-19: Quantitative evidence from China.
Article in Sustainable cities and society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic worldwide has brought huge challenges to urban governance. Whether the smart city projects play a significant role in the COVID-19 prevention and control process is a question worthy of attention. Based on the data of COVID-19 confirmed cases and the smart cities projects investment in China cities, our empirical results show that smart city projects have significantly reduced the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases. Specifically, for every 1 million yuan increase in smart city investment per 10,000 people, the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases per 10,000 people would decrease by 0.342. The heterogeneity analysis results show that the effect of the smart city projects on COVID-19 in the spread phase inside a city is stronger than that in the input phase. In addition, the effect differs for cities with different population sizes. This study provides quantitative evidence of the impact of smart city projects on COVID-19 prevention and control.
