Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Population growth and economic development have increased the world’s energy consumption, making it more difficult to manage peak loads and lower the cost of home energy management systems (HEMS). This has led to a need for smart, flexible solutions that incorporate renewable resources to improve sustainability and economic efficiency. To optimize power flow in a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES), this study suggests a fuzzy logic-based energy management system (Fuzzy-EMS) that is improved with reinforcement learning and optimized using the Starfish Optimization Algorithm (SFOA). It incorporates solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines (WT), battery storage systems (BSS), and electric vehicles (EVs). Adaptive handling of uncertainties in renewable generation and load demand using a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy reinforcement learning model with triangular membership functions and 81 rules, real-time energy trading with the upstream grid, and a multi-objective framework that balances cost minimization and renewable utilization maximization are among the main contributions. Cost reductions of 35.2%, 23.8%, and 26.43% under fixed pricing, real-time pricing (RTP), and day-ahead pricing (DAP) models, respectively, are examples of how MATLAB simulations outperform well-known techniques. Furthermore, the system outperforms diesel-based systems by lowering operating costs and carbon emissions by 11.87–18.7% and increasing the use of renewable energy by up to 70% in hybrid scenarios, resulting in a net present cost (NPC) of $269,246 and a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of $0.281 over a 20-year period.
