1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Improving economic resilience has become a regional development goal of policymakers. This study aims to investigate the effects of digital transformation on urban economic resilience and its underlying mechanisms. Based on a sample of 287 prefecture-level cities in China, We find that digital transformation helps improve urban economic resilience, which is robust to different estimations, e.g., 2SLS and staggered DID. Additionally, further analysis indicates that improving the efficiency and stimulating the level of innovation that is associated with digital transformation are likely to be the main mechanisms behind this effect. Our results reveal the following several policy implications. Firstly, formulating policies to develop digital technology and to promote its application is of great significance for achieving a sustainable and resilient economic growth in an increasingly uncertain environment. Secondly, the government should focus on promoting market-oriented reform, reducing government intervention, protecting intellectual property rights, and creating an innovative environment to maximize the effect of digital technology. Thirdly, during the normal periods, accelerating the digitalization process will promote the balanced development among urbans.
