Analysis of heat use profiles in Norwegian educational institutions in conditions of COVID-lockdown.
Article in Journal of building engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has significantly affected the energy demand in Norway. In order to avoid unnecessary energy use and ensure the proper functioning of buildings, it becomes essential to have a better understanding and planning of heating use for different building types under possible pandemic conditions. Despite this fact, the literature review showed a lack of awareness about heating system performance in buildings during the COVID-lockdown. This article addressed the problems of heat use profiles analyses and scenario development for schools, kindergartens, and university campuses in Norway. The comparison of heat use profiles in these educational institutions during both the previous year and the COVID-lockdown showed that the operation of the heating system remained on the same level, although the occupancy was largely reduced. Moreover, the month after the reopening of the buildings was characterized by a remarkable increase in heat use, regardless of the warmer weather conditions. For heat use planning in educational institutions, the following scenarios were developed: Scenario 1 - operation according to a normal year setting; Scenario 2 - reducing the heating to the level of the night heat use; and Scenario 3 - using settings that were applied during the lockdown. The results showed that the application of Scenario 2 might allow us to save 21 kWh/m
