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

purposeThe new generation loves to interact with digital technologies. On the other hand, due to the soaring digital innovation trends, sustainability is crucial in higher educational institutes (HEI), necessitating investigating the factors that lead to green innovations. Therefore, drawing on the Stimulus-organism-response approach (SOR) and dynamic capability view, the current study examines the intricate relationship between digital leadership, dynamic capability, knowledge sharing, green digital mindset and green digital innovation in higher education settings.

methodsThis research utilized the three-wave (T1 = digital leadership, dynamic capability, T2 knowledge sharing, green digital mindset, T3 = green digital innovation) research approach to collect the data in a one-month time lag from the top management of universities working in China. At T3, 425 filled questionnaires were received, which were utilized for the final data analysis. SmartPLS 4.0 was employed for data analysis.

resultsThe results present mixed findings, as digital leadership was an insignificant predictor of green digital innovation. However, Dynamic capability and knowledge sharing underscore the crucial role of both as predictors to foster green digital innovation in Chinese universities. Furthermore, the study reveals the significant mediating role of knowledge sharing between digital leadership, dynamic capability and green digital innovation.

conclusionThis study postulates that knowledge sharing and green digital innovation will be stronger in the presence of a green digital mindset in Higher education institutions. HEIs should ensure a dynamic culture that adapts technology and sustainability principles to remain at the forefront of digital and green innovation.
