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

Over the past two decades, academic research on urban agglomerations has gradually declined, primarily due to the stabilization of their spatial configurations and the diminishing role of agglomeration effects in driving overall economic growth. Amid the ongoing transition from information technology to artificial intelligence (AI), this paper examines the spatial correlation between population growth and rising median individual income within the Great Lakes urban agglomeration, with a perspective of spatial reshaping. The findings reveal a shift toward decentralization in the spatial structure of the urban agglomeration following the U.S. financial crisis, a transformation that has contributed to economic recovery. This decentralization is attributed to AI-driven changes in work patterns, which have reduced residents' dependence on spatial agglomeration. Accordingly, the paper introduces the concept of the "post-urban agglomeration," aiming to uncover mechanisms that promote equitable development among cities in the emerging era of AI.
