Econometric analysis of factors influencing electricity consumption in Spain: Implications for policy and pricing strategies.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
This study employs a comprehensive database of Spanish homes and econometric modeling to assess the factors influencing electricity consumption in Spain. Using panel data covering the period from 1998 to 2023, we analyzed the average yearly electricity usage across the 18 Spanish regions. Our findings reveal that fluctuations in electricity prices have remained the primary driver of consumption over this period. The price elasticity of demand has been exceptionally high, exceeding levels observed in earlier research and periods. Additionally, factors such as income, hours of sunlight, and temperature fluctuations positively influence electricity usage, albeit to a lesser extent than household and family characteristics (e.g., whether a single parent heads the household or if it includes foreign residents). There is no significant correlation between demand and factors such as the age or employment status of family members. Based on these findings, policy actions that target power pricing (e.g., price-based instruments) are likely to be the most effective in reducing electricity consumption.
