Wave energy converters as offshore wind farm guardians: a pathway to resilient ocean systems.
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
Maximizing the durability and reliability of offshore wind farms is essential for the clean energy transition. In this work, we demonstrate how wave energy converter (WEC) farms can shelter offshore wind farms from cyclic wave loading, resulting in significant reductions in wave-induced turbine fatigue damage. Using experimentally validated hydrodynamic models, we show that modeling WEC energy dissipation through fluid structure interactions rather than rated power provides an unbiased analysis of different architecture's sheltering capabilities. Through the system-level model, we observe that even small reductions in wave height propagate to the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the wind farm, resulting in a 4.94% decrease in LCOE with a 6% reduction in wave height. Additionally, WEC farms can benefit from this co-location by sharing siting costs, operation and maintenance teams, and mooring and transmission cables with the offshore wind farm. This work advances the design of integrated wind-wave systems, supporting resilient, cost-effective offshore renewables for global deployment.
