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
Agricultural social services (ASS) are crucial in alleviating resource constraints and advancing agricultural modernization. Using the data derived from the China Land Economic Survey (CLES2022), this study empirically investigates how digital literacy influences farmers' adoption of ASS, employing both Probit and Propensity score matching (PSM) models. Additionally, it explores the mediating roles of long-term production vision and part-time employment degrees in this relationship. The findings are: (1) digital literacy exhibited a statistically significant positive effect on farmers' adoption of ASS at the 1% significant level. Moreover, this impact varied among participants in technology training, different education levels, and varying levels of risk preference; (2) long-term production vision and part-time employment degrees act as mediators, enhancing the positive impact of digital literacy on farmers' adoption of ASS. Based on these findings, recommendations have been developed to improve farmers' digital literacy, promote the adoption of ASS, and enhance farmers' long-term production vision as well as degree of part-time.
