The mechanism and impact of digital transformation on supply chain resilience in the manufacturing industry.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Against the backdrop of global industrial chain restructuring and heightened uncertainty risks, enhancing supply chain resilience is central to ensuring high-quality development in manufacturing. Drawing on microdata from Chinese A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2011 to 2024, this study empirically examines the impact of corporate digital transformation on manufacturing supply chain resilience and its underlying mechanisms. Findings reveal: First, corporate digital transformation exerts a significant and robust direct positive effect on manufacturing supply chain resilience, a conclusion that holds after multiple endogeneity tests including time window shortening and instrumental variables methods. Second, mechanism tests indicate that digital transformation indirectly enhances supply chain resilience through two mediating pathways: alleviating financing constraints and reducing market competition intensity. Specifically, digital transformation enhances corporate information transparency and operational efficiency, thereby reducing external financing costs and alleviating excessive market competition pressures. This creates a more favorable financial and market environment for strengthening supply chain resilience. Third, heterogeneity analysis reveals significant industry differences in the enabling effects of digital transformation, with its promotional impact being particularly pronounced in high-tech, low-pollution, and highly competitive industries. This study provides micro-level evidence for understanding the dual "financial-market" pathways through which digital transformation empowers manufacturing resilience. It offers important implications for formulating targeted digital transformation policies, optimizing corporate financing environments, and guiding healthy market competition to systematically strengthen supply chain resilience.
