High-impact weather effects on wind and solar power systems under future climate scenarios in China.
Article in Nature communications, 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
High-impact weather events (HIWs) threaten power system reliability by inducing prolonged, concurrent deficits in wind and solar generation. Here, we present an integrated assessment of China's future renewable-dominated power system under climate change, leveraging 5-kilometer resolution spatial and hourly temporal meteorological data, spatially explicit electricity demand projections, and a climate-informed coordinated optimization of renewable generation and cross-regional transmission. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario by 2040, we find that HIWs can trigger generation deficits persisting up to 24 days annually, reducing wind and solar output by as much as 41.2% in inland provinces and 22.7% across northern-central grids, respectively. Inner Mongolia and the Northwest China Grid emerge as key export hubs, with a combined cross-regional transmission potential of 605 gigawatts to alleviate regional imbalances. These results underscore the amplifying role of HIWs in disrupting renewable supply chains and highlight the necessity of spatially coordinated, climate-resilient infrastructure planning to secure a low-carbon energy future.
