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

Developing exports of technology-intensive products is a key focus for China's high-quality foreign trade development. The rapid growth of global digital trade brings new opportunities and challenges for China's exports of technology-intensive products. This paper utilizes panel data from 2005 to 2022. And we construct an extended gravity model to thoroughly investigate the impact of digital trade development in importing countries on China's exports of technology-intensive products. The research findings indicate: (1) The development of digital trade in importing countries significantly promotes China's exports of technology-intensive products. This effect is more pronounced beyond a certain threshold. (2) The reduction of trade costs and increased foreign direct investment play intermediary roles in facilitating the impact of digital trade in importing countries on China's exports of technology-intensive products. However, institutional distance exerts a negative inhibitory effect on this process. (3) The impact of digital trade development in importing countries on China's exports of technology products varies due to differences in product types, national income levels, regional characteristics, economic cooperation, and market potential. The conclusions of this paper provide theoretical and empirical evidence for the Chinese government to enhance the efficiency of exporting technology-intensive products.
