Cost trajectory of hydrogen fuel cell technology in China.
Article in iScience, 2025. 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
Reducing the cost of hydrogen fuel cell technology is crucial in propelling the hydrogen economy and achieving decarbonized energy systems. This study identifies the hydrogen fuel cell cost trajectory through a multi-stage learning curve model, highlighting technology learning mechanisms across different stages. Findings show that innovation and production contribute to cost reduction, and the learning by researching holds a more significant role presently, while the learning by doing takes precedence in the long term, achieving a 14% learning rate. The cost predictions imply that the system cost of hydrogen fuel cell is expected to fall below 1,000 yuan/kW after 2031. Moreover, the scenario analyses highlight the conducive role of various hydrogen production technologies and the evolution of cost influencing factors on cost reduction. Our research provides critical insights into the evolving dynamics of technological learning and cost trajectory in the hydrogen fuel cell industry, with significant implications for policy-making.
