Could electrified energy systems be more reliable with less reliable supply?
Review in iScience, 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
Transitioning energy systems for decarbonization requires transformative change: systems that use no fossil fuels are fundamentally different from today's fossil fuel-dominated energy systems. Governance, performance metrics, and other institutional infrastructure require transformation, alongside technology and physical transformation, particularly in service of correcting grave distributional harms. This Perspective argues that the success of a primarily electrified energy system should be judged by the reliability of service provision rather than electricity supply. In the US, residential heating presents the most salient conflict between investments in supply versus alternative service provisioning strategies because it is likely to drive marginal supply needs. Using heating as a frame, this perspective's provocation is to ask whether well-designed electrified systems that do not meet current expectations for supply-side reliability could more effectively deliver crucial energy services than those that do, resulting in a system that is counterintuitively less "reliable" while better serving people's needs.
