1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems on urban building envelopes, the bidirectional interaction between PV systems and the urban thermal environment poses a critical challenge to coordinated urban energy transition and ecological livability. Existing studies largely focus on unidirectional impacts with highly divergent conclusions, and often overlook synergistic environmental effects due to a lack of holistic coupled analysis. This study explains contradictory findings on PV thermal effects across three dimensions (geography, installation, methodology) and proposes an actionable albedo-based discriminant criterion. It quantifies PV power loss under varied factor combinations and explores periodic pulsating flow for passive PV cooling and dust removal, filling a key gap in urban PV synergistic optimization. This work provides a theoretical basis for optimizing PV layout, O&M, and cooling/dust removal technologies across climatic zones, and guides deeper integration of PV into urban ecosystems.
