Artificial intelligence can regulate light and climate systems to reduce energy use in plant factories and support sustainable food production.
Article in Nature food, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs) can boost food production per unit area but require resources such as carbon dioxide and energy to maintain optimal plant growth conditions. Here we use computational modelling and artificial intelligence (AI) to examine plant-environment interactions across ten diverse global locations with distinct climates. AI reduces energy use by optimizing lighting and climate regulation systems, with energy use in PFALs ranging from 6.42 kWh kg
