Neglected risks in the Chinese insurers' misconduct caused by digitalization.
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
Digital transformation offers opportunities for innovative growth while also introducing emerging risks of misconduct in the insurance industry. This study examines the impact of digital transformation on insurers' misconduct, focusing on 72 Chinese insurers from 2010 to 2021. Through text analysis, we quantify insurers' digital transformation and misconduct. The results indicate that digital transformation tends to increase misconduct, particularly among property insurers and those with joint or foreign ownership. The issuance of digital policy and the adoption of technologies that exceed managerial capacity exacerbate misconduct. Digital transformation drives misconduct through the channels of market expansion and financial pressure. Furthermore, insurers with larger market shares, lower commissions, and operational costs are more prone to misconduct during their digital transformation. Conversely, higher insurance density, market penetration, premium income growth, and lower economic uncertainty help mitigate misconduct.
