Ecological dichotomies of solar energy expansion: resilience in arid regions versus fragility in humid ecosystems.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The deployment of Utility-Scale Solar Energy (USSE) systems is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone strategy in mitigating climate change. However, the environmental ramifications of such extensive developments remain the subject of considerable debate, with marked regional variability in their ecological effects, particularly across different biomes. As such, there is a pressing need for comprehensive, systems-level investigations to evaluate the multifaceted environmental impacts of USSE in both arid and humid ecosystems. Here, we undertake an exhaustive assessment utilizing a high-resolution (10 m) dataset of photovoltaic (PV) station distributions across China, complemented by Landsat-derived NDVI remote sensing data from 2019 to 2023. This approach facilitates the quantification of the dynamic effects of PV infrastructure development on vegetation greenness (NDVI
