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
Lottery public welfare funds constitute a significant source of government fiscal revenue. Consequently, it is of crucial importance to objectively analyze the impact of purchasing convenience on the lottery industry. This study employs the discrete-time dynamic optimization Bellman equation to examine the influence of time costs associated with purchasing lottery tickets on consumer demand across different income groups, considering various types of lottery tickets. Utilizing panel data spanning from 2007 to 2021 from 30 provinces in China, the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method is employed to assess the effects of the ban on online lottery sales, implemented in 2015, on the sales of welfare and sports lottery tickets in distinct income regions. The findings indicate that the prohibition of online lottery sales leads to a more rapid decline in the demand for betting-lottery tickets in high-income areas compared to low-income areas, while no significant variation in the rate of decline in demand for lotto-lottery tickets is observed. This trend hampers the improvement of the lottery consumer structure and overall sales. The research outcomes furnish valuable references for enhancing the structure of lottery consumers and augmenting sales within the lottery industry.
