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

Recent efforts of nation states to enhance resilience and restructure global industry, supply chains, and value chains have intensified the dual economic structure that shapes flows at both domestic and international levels. Multi-regional input-output (MRIO) tables provide a quantitative approach to capture inter-regional and inter-sectoral economic flows. Existing MRIO databases mainly consist of international MRIO and subnational MRIO, respectively. However, they lack coupling MRIO tables and thus fail to adequately represent the dual structure of subnational and international trade. In this study, we develop a subnational and international coupling (SIC) MRIO in 2017, covering 30 sectors, 30 provinces in China and 66 countries & economies. We employ macro-level aggregated data, micro-level structural data and large language models (LLMs) to construct the SIC method. Our SIC MRIO captures the interplay between international and subnational economic flows, reflecting the emerging dual structure of production and consumption networks in the global landscape. It can serve as a baseline for future studies of the economic and environmental implications of chains under the dual structure.
