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 digital transformation of education is an inevitable trend, characterized by the deep integration of digital technologies within educational frameworks, making it a crucial driver of educational innovation and reform. Using data from the 2019 China Household Finance Survey, this study empirically examines the effects of digital education on household allocation of risky financial assets, incorporating both mechanistic and heterogeneity analyses. The findings reveal that digital education significantly enhances both the scope and intensity of household engagement with risky financial assets. After addressing endogeneity concerns using instrumental variable techniques and conducting extensive robustness checks, the results consistently validate the initial findings. Furthermore, the impact of digital education on the allocation of risky financial assets varies across different household demographics, with a more pronounced effect observed in households with greater wealth, lower debt ratios, and urban residency. Additionally, the mechanistic analysis clarifies how digital education facilitates the allocation of risky financial assets by broadening access to information, improving financial literacy, and increasing risk tolerance. Overall, this paper underscores the crucial role of digital education in shaping household financial asset allocation.
