Effects of the Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from China.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
In order to reduce carbon emissions for sustainable development, we analyzed the impact of China's digital economy development on carbon emissions. Based on the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2009 to 2019, we measured the level of development of China's digital economy using the entropy method. The relationship between the digital economy and carbon emissions was analyzed from multiple perspectives with the help of the fixed-effects model, the mediated-effects model and the spatial econometric model. The results indicate that the digital economy plays a significant inhibitory role in carbon emissions. In addition, the digital economy inhibits carbon emissions through the innovation effect and the industrial structure upgrading effect. Moreover, the digital economy exhibits a significant spatial spillover effect in dampening carbon emissions. Finally, there is regional heterogeneity in the direct and spatial spillover effect. The findings provide a basis for the digital economy to contribute to carbon emissions reduction and provide relevant policy references for achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
