Digital financial inclusion and household consumption structure upgrading.
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
Driven by the rapid advancement of digital technology, Digital Inclusive Finance (DIF) has emerged as a transformative force in the financial sector, reshaping consumption patterns and facilitating the upgrading of residents’ consumption structures. Utilizing panel data from 31 Chinese provinces spanning 2011 to 2022, this paper empirically investigates the impact of DIF on consumption structural shifts. The study explores the underlying mechanisms of this influence, focusing on income enhancement and service accessibility, while further evaluating the moderating role of digital infrastructure. Key findings reveal that DIF significantly fosters consumption structure upgrading by raising residents’ income levels and mitigating income inequality. This positive effect is more pronounced in regions with superior digital infrastructure, as well as among urban populations and residents in China’s eastern region. Based on these results, the paper suggests policy interventions centered on targeted infrastructure investment, income-boosting strategies, and region-specific development approaches. Furthermore, the findings highlight the need for enhanced regulatory frameworks to balance financial stability with inclusive growth. Ultimately, this research contributes to the theoretical convergence of digital finance and consumption economics while providing practical guidance for leveraging DIF to support high-quality economic development.
