Increasing the adoption of electric vehicles may exacerbate carbon emissions from power plants in China.
Article 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
China has committed to electric vehicle (EV) development to achieve the "Dual Carbon" goals. However, the rising electricity demand from EVs may exacerbate carbon emissions from the power sector. This empirical study investigates the impact of China's EV adoption on carbon emissions in the power sector using the panel data from 2017 to 2022. The instrumental variable regression results reveal that a 10% increase in EV sales increases emissions from power plants by 0.39%. Spatial econometric results further indicate significant emission spillovers and spatial connections among power plants. In addition, our scenario analysis reveals that the coordinated development of renewable energy and transport electrification contributes further to carbon reduction. Our findings highlight the importance of a cleaner energy mix in unlocking the full decarbonization potential of EVs.
