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

City power systems face intensified mismatches between generation and dynamic demand under rising zero-carbon energy penetration levels. Although demand-side resource management offers mismatch mitigation potential by regulating load patterns, its city-level capability remains unclear. This study develops a community-to-grid framework to assess how demand-side resources could mitigate generation-demand mismatches at the megacity scale. A case study is performed in Shenzhen, China, covering 4,549 community units with energy profiles and rooftop photovoltaics of 479,259 buildings, and travel-charge profiles of 1,080,000 private plug-in electric vehicles. Under an assumed 80% zero-carbon electricity penetration level, the proposed framework could reduce weekly power supply deficits by 54.5%, or 266.2 gigawatt-hours, corresponding to an estimated reduction of 83.6 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide. Different governing paradigms may affect grid infrastructure upgrade paths: prioritizing administrative equity supports temporally consistent planning, whereas prioritizing mismatch-mitigation efficiency promotes spatially clustered retrofitting. This study may inform city-specific demand-side resource excavation under national electricity decarbonization planning.
