1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

China must accelerate its power system energy transition to meet the 14th and 15th Five-Year Plan targets. Our study reveals that, based on the trend during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, transitioning to wind and solar power would have greater challenges by 2030 compared to other energy sources, with southwest China, other regions, and old industrial base facing the most pressure. Under the enhanced policy scenario, the transition from 2023 to 2030 could reduce emissions of SO
