Planning the electric vehicle transition by integrating spatial information and social networks.
Article in Nature communications, 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
The transition from gasoline-powered vehicles to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) offers a promising pathway for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Spatial forecasts of PEV adoption are essential to support power grid adaptation, yet forecasting is hindered by limited data at this early stage of adoption. While different model calibrations can replicate current trends, they often yield divergent forecasts. Using empirical data from states with the highest levels of adoption in the United States, this study shows that accounting for spatial and social networks among potential PEV adopters produces forecasts that are only one-third of benchmark predictions for 2050. Results further demonstrate that incorporating spatial social networks improves the ability to capture the spatial autocorrelation observed in the empirical diffusion process. This study also evaluates the potential impact of various PEV marketing campaigns under prevailing uncertainties, highlighting the importance of tailoring strategies to network dynamics for effective PEV promotion.
