Introducing the municipal digital offering index for evaluating online services and addressing the digital divide.

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 research introduces the Municipal Digital Offering Index (MDOI) to assess municipal online service development in Chile. The study utilizes content analysis of municipal websites, creating a systematic instrument to evaluate digital services. It evaluates all 344 Chilean municipalities based on 163 dichotomous variables. Through factor analysis and regression modeling, it investigates sociodemographic and economic factors influencing digital development at the municipal level, offering insights into the digital divide across municipalities. The findings highlight geographical disparities and indicate priority intervention areas. While education levels and financial resources influence digital technology adoption, many municipalities lack efficient online procedures, prompting focused digital transformation investments. This research emphasizes the importance of localized digital services in bridging the digital divide and promoting inclusive governance.
