Life Cycle and Local Environmental Impacts of Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) Systems.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 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
Water-floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) add to renewable energy capacity building without additional land requirements. We quantify the environmental impacts of FPV on inland water bodies with a focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water consumption. We harmonize and compare all existing peer-reviewed life cycle assessments on FPV and add two case studies. We consider the full life cycle of FPV, including future (prospective) material recycling options, as well as changes in water evaporation and aquatic GHG emissions at the FPV location. On average, we computed an overall GHG footprint of 36 gCO
