1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Amid the rapid deployment of third-generation nuclear power, our understanding of its actual contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions remains limited. In a case study focused on China's mainstream third-generation nuclear power technology, HPR1000, we constructed a life cycle carbon accounting framework for nuclear power plants (LCCA-NPP). Our analysis encompassed the entire life cycle of HPR1000, including construction, operation, and decommissioning. The total life cycle GHG emissions for HPR1000 range from 10.66 to 11.19 Tg CO
