How data assets influence enterprise persistent innovation: Evidence from China.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigates the impact of data assets on enterprise persistent innovation using panel data from Chinese A-share listed firms from 2011 to 2022. The results indicate that data assets significantly enhance both the inputs and outputs of enterprise persistent innovation, with the findings remaining robust under endogeneity tests. Mediation analysis reveals that data assets influence enterprise persistent innovation through three key channels: process innovation, business innovation, and technological innovation. The development of digital finance positively moderates this relationship across three dimensions of coverage, depth, and digitalization, indicating that digital finance amplifies the persistent innovation value of data assets. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that the persistent innovation input improves more in non-state-owned enterprises, digitally advanced firms, and non-manufacturing sectors, whereas output enhancement is most evident in large enterprises, highly digitalized firms, and organizations with strong absorptive capacity. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of data-driven persistent innovation and provide valuable insights for policymakers developing data markets, and for firms formulating data strategies aligned with their capabilities.
