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

Introduction: Digital literacy has become a necessary basic ability for university students and has profoundly influenced their learning attitudes and behavior. This study aims to explore the direct effects of digital literacy on innovation capability among university students and whether it varies with students' personal characteristics. Methods: This study developed new scales to measure the digital literacy and innovation capability of university students. Data was collected from 12 universities in Ningbo, China ( Results: The findings showed that digital literacy positively correlated with university students' innovation capability (β = 0.76, Discussion: University students with better digital literacy tend to be more innovative. The study suggests that higher education institutions should emerge from the traditional concept of curriculum systems, accelerate the construction of a digital literacy cultivation ecosystem considering different personal characteristics, and stimulate the innovation drive of university students.
