Spatial distribution and environmental attributes dataset of China's large-scale data centers in 2024.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the energy consumption of large-scale data centers continues to grow. Understanding the spatial distribution of large-scale data centers is important for optimizing power system planning, increasing renewable energy penetration, and improving energy efficiency. However, detailed information such as location and distribution of large-scale data centers is rarely available, limiting research on their energy consumption and environmental impacts. Therefore, we present a spatial distribution and environmental attributes dataset of China's large-scale data centers in 2024. This study integrates Points of Interest from Amap with spatial features extracted from Sentinel-2 imagery and employs the Random Forest model to generate a spatial probability surface for large-scale data centers. The dataset contains the latitude and longitude of 1,005 large-scale data centers in China, urban environmental attributes (climate zone, elevation, annual average temperature, and precipitation), as well as model-generated probability surfaces and satellite image examples. This dataset can be used for estimating energy consumption of artificial intelligence infrastructure, planning and optimizing energy system, and evaluating and enhancing urban energy system resilience.
