Cross-sectoral trade-offs in a changing climate: Surrogate models to balance home energy bills, occupant comfort, and power system externalities.
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
Electrifying buildings using heat pumps may exacerbate the trade-offs between the sometimes-conflicting objectives of building occupants, power systems, and society. To navigate these, we develop a modeling framework that rapidly co-optimizes home energy bills, indoor temperatures, power system air pollution externalities, and peak demand costs. We demonstrate this framework for 17,000 representative single-family homes across 54 U.S. cities under historical and future climates, monetizing thermal discomfort using the travel cost method. Across climates, utility bills and thermal discomfort dominate trade-offs. Other factors play a smaller role. We show that, controlling for home size, the cost of improving thermal comfort is 50% lower in post-2000 homes than in pre-1950 homes. Of the 212 combinations of city, estimated income group pair, house size, and season analyzed, the lower-income household pays more for a marginal increase in thermal comfort in 137 cases, but this difference is significant only in 39 cases.
