Efficiency evaluation of the impact of energy poverty on sustainable development of water resources.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Water and energy resources are interdependent, yet their sustainable synergy remains understudied. Using China's 2016-2020 provincial data, this study employs a dynamic two-stage SBM model to assess the sustainable development efficiency of water resources and regional disparities, with energy poverty incorporated as an exogenous variable. Findings reveal: (1) Water-scarce regions achieve higher efficiency due to strict policies and technological innovation, whereas water-rich areas face a "resource curse". (2) Most provinces exhibit "high production-low sustainability", indicating development prioritization over conservation. (3) In the east, high energy dependence causes a significant drop in TGR of water sustainability when energy poverty is factored in, widening the efficiency gap. In contrast, in central and western regions, particularly western provinces, TGR rises with the inclusion of energy poverty, supported by stringent ecological policies. Finally, targeted countermeasures are proposed: promoting water-saving technologies and new energy applications in the eastern region; strengthening green manufacturing and eco-compensation in the central region; and developing eco-industries and technological innovations in the western region.
