Network centrality, support organizations, exploratory innovation: Empirical analysis of China's integrated circuit industry.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Exploratory innovation is critical to the breakthrough of core technologies in the integrated circuit (IC) industry, and cooperative innovation is a promising form of IC industry development. According to the viewpoint of social network, this paper constructs intercity networks of the IC industry by using a data set of cooperation patents from 2011 to 2020 in China. We uncover the evolution characteristics of the innovation networks, explore the relationship between network centrality and exploratory innovation in a city, and consider universities and development zones, named support organizations, as moderating variables. The results of the social network analysis (SNA) and dynamic panel system generalized method of moments model (System-GMM) are given as follows: Cities are increasingly inclined to collaborate with counterparts over time for innovation, but the overall network scale remains small. Beijing occupies core position in the networks. A cooperative innovation model driven by peripheral cities has been formed as the number of the peripheral cities has gradually increased. The network centrality of a city has a positive effect on its exploratory innovation. Both universities and development zones positively moderate the effect of network centrality on exploratory innovation. Based on the characteristics of the network, our study reveals the importance of taking the internal structure of the network and the node support environment into the same framework, which provides guidance for the innovative development of the world IC industry.
