The energy supply security pyramid: A quantitative framework for planning and policy making.
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
Energy supply security (ESS) is one of the pillars of the Energy Trilemma. Although crucial for the transition to sustainable energy systems, ESS is frequently overlooked in energy system design. This article introduces the ESS Pyramid, a hierarchical framework combining conceptual insights with quantitative metrics to assess supply security. The ESS Pyramid has five levels, including foundational elements, such as Self-Production and Autonomy, and higher-order requirements, such as System Adequacy, Self-Sufficiency, and Autarky. Specific metrics are defined for each level to facilitate quantitative assessments that can inform strategic planning and policy-making. Using Switzerland's energy transition as a case study, we demonstrate the practical application of the ESS Pyramid and how sustainable transitions can also increase energy supply security. This framework provides policymakers, energy planners, analysts, and researchers with a structured approach that complements the already detailed approaches to Sustainability and Equity, the other two pillars of the Energy Trilemma.
