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

The evolution of China's industrial structure from 2010 to 2021 is assessed based on the rationalization and sophistication of its industries. The Theil index quantifies spatial variability, while the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) investigates if changes in industrial structure imbalance will increase wealth disparity. The study's findings indicate a noticeable spatial imbalance in industrial structure change. The overall level of common wealth is low but steadily increasing, following a stepped-down structure of "east-center-west." Additionally, the north and south regions exhibit a pattern of "high in the north and low in the south." There is a pattern of higher values in the north and lower values in the south. In terms of common wealth and its dimensions, there is a ladder-like pattern with high values at the core decreasing towards the west. Between 2010 and 2021, the common wealth development shifted from a lower level to a higher one. Beijing, Jiangsu, and Shanghai constantly ranked in the top echelon, while Guangxi remained in the fifth echelon. The speed and difficulty of transitioning between echelons vary. Moving from the fourth echelon to the third echelon takes longer, while transitioning from the third echelon to higher echelons presents tougher challenges. Spatial imbalances in industrial structure changes widen the gap in common wealth. In particular, the impact of the gap in the advanced industrial structure on the common wealth gap is significantly higher than that of the gap in industrial rationalization. Reducing disparities in advanced industrial structure is more effective in reducing the overall wealth gap.
