Study on the impact of digital transformation on green competitive advantage: The role of green innovation and government regulation.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
Digital transformation enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to reduce or overcome their reliance on resources and energy, thereby minimizing their environmental impact and providing them with sustainable green competitive advantages. However, the reasons for this phenomenon are not yet clear. To further investigate this issue, we selected 391 Chinese SMEs to examine the relationships among green transformation, green innovation, government regulation, and green competitive advantages. Green innovation includes green product innovation and green process innovation, while government regulation includes incentive regulation, constraint regulation, and guidance regulation. The empirical results show that digital transformation can enhance SMEs' green competitive advantages. Additionally, the hypothesized mediating effect of green product innovation and green process innovation between digital transformation and green competitive advantages is supported, while the moderating effect of incentive regulation, constraint regulation, and guidance regulation on the relationship between digital transformation and green product innovation and green process innovation is also confirmed. The findings of this study may contribute to more effective management of digital transformation and green innovation in SMEs, thereby promoting their development.
