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
Background: In the era of rapid digital technology advancement, the digital economy is profoundly reshaping industrial operation models, providing new momentum and development pathways for the green transformation of the sports industry. Objective: This study investigates how the digital economy facilitates structural optimization and explores the underlying mechanisms through which it drives the green and high-quality transformation of the sports industry. Methods: Using provincial-level panel data from China spanning 2015-2023, this study employs fixed-effects panel models and moderation effect models to empirically examine the relationship between the digital economy and the green transformation of the sports industry, while testing its internal mechanisms. Results: The empirical findings demonstrate that the digital economy exerts a significant positive effect on the green transformation of the sports industry. This conclusion remains robust after addressing potential endogeneity concerns and conducting multiple robustness checks. Furthermore, the marketization of data factors significantly strengthens the positive impact of the digital economy on the sports industry's green transformation. In terms of regional heterogeneity, the promotional effect of the digital economy is notably more pronounced in eastern regions than in central and western regions. Discussion: The results highlight that the digital economy acts as a key driver of the green transformation of the sports industry. Promoting the marketization of data factors can further amplify this effect. Policy implications include improving data property rights and trading systems, strengthening digital infrastructure and governance capabilities, and implementing differentiated regional strategies to achieve coordinated and sustainable upgrading of the sports industry.
