Energy saving effects of digital technologies from a life-cycle-analytical perspective: evidence from China.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Digital technology has become a key driver of industrial transformation and resource utilization. However, no consensus has been reached on the exact relationship between digital technology and energy utilization. This study adopted a comprehensive index system to investigate the impact of digital technologies on energy utilization across 30 provinces in China. The results reveal a non-linear relationship between digital technologies and energy efficiency in China (represented by an N-curve), which is validated by robustness tests. This indicates digital technology exerts a fast-slow-rapid impact on improving energy efficiency throughout its initial-rapid-stable developmental stages. Geographically, this effect is more pronounced in eastern and central China, as well as in areas with lower energy efficiency. Furthermore, the impact of digital technology on total energy consumption can be characterized by an inverted N-shaped curve. As regional energy efficiency improves, the energy consumption associated with the development of digital technologies gradually decreases. These findings can contribute valuable insights for enhancing energy efficiency and provide practical guidance for the formulation of energy and digital technology policies.
