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

Data spaces and ecosystems provide decentralized digital infrastructures enabling secure, sovereign, and inter-organizational data sharing across industries. While prior research predominantly focused on technological functionality, we consider the relationship between business models and organizational roles and how their interplay enables sustainable value creation. We propose a conceptual framework to design the interplay between organizational roles and business models within a data ecosystem based on Gaia-X standards. Drawing on three use cases of Gaia-X 4 Advanced Mobility Services, we integrated empirical insights from semi-structured interviews. We defined independently organizational roles and business models at ecosystemic and firm-centric levels and assessed their compatibility. The conceptual framework shows how systematic assessment and iterative adjustments of organizational roles and business models can identify and minimize critical misalignments for a sustainable data ecosystem. Our findings guide scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in designing governance structures and business models for data spaces and ecosystems.
