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

In the rapidly evolving digital economy, digital transformation has emerged as a crucial pathway for enterprises to achieve high-quality growth and maintain a competitive advantage. Enhancing digital innovation performance during the transformation process has become a pressing issue in both theoretical research and managerial practice. Grounded in Resource based View, this study examines the organizational transformation logic of "leader-strategy-performance" and develops a theoretical model that includes digital strategy as a mediating variable and digital transformation openness as a moderating variable. Based on data collected from 348 employees in China's manufacturing sector, the study employed structural equation modeling to test the proposed hypotheses. The results reveal that (1) digital transformational leadership significantly enhances employees' digital innovation performance; (2) digital strategy partially mediates this relationship; (3) digital transformation openness positively moderates the link between digital strategy and digital innovation performance; and (4) it also amplifies the moderated mediation effect of digital transformational leadership on digital innovation performance via digital strategy.
