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.

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
China has emerged as a global force in the digital economy, its rapid technological advancement challenging the technological leadership of the West and generating geopolitical-economic tensions. Positioned at the cutting edge of innovation, financial technology - commonly referred to as FinTech - has emerged as a key terrain in this battle for financial and technological dominance. China's rapid ascendance in this sphere raises questions about the political-economic drivers and conditions of existence of such transformations. While the literature on FinTech examines market-driven, industry- and firm-specific processes transforming global financial networks, less is known about the roles of the state in steering the integration of technological and financial systems as a national development strategy. This paper analyzes how the Chinese party-state under Xi Jinping is implementing a techno-industrial policy centered around data as a new factor of production, seeking to ascend the industrial value chain and compete at the technological frontier. Focusing on the Greater Bay Area region - a preeminent innovation economy and financial hub - the paper examines the policy mechanisms, local economic spaces and practices grounding this digital economy, shaped by the interplay between state interventionism and the market-driven allocation of resources.
