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

Power grids across the United States are increasingly exposed to weather-related disruption, yet reproducible analyses are limited by differences in the spatial and temporal structure of outage and meteorological records. This Data Descriptor presents a harmonized, event-based archive linking county-level customer power-outage records from the U.S. Department of Energy EAGLE-I platform with National Weather Service watches, warnings and advisories encoded through the Valid Time Event Code system. The archive spans the contiguous United States from 2015 through 2024. The primary released file contains hourly indexed, positive processed outage observations that overlap at least one VTEC warning and include event identifiers, matched warning types, and source-record availability diagnostics. Companion files provide the consolidated warning archive, daily county-level EAGLE-I source-record availability and sensitivity summaries evaluating missing-record treatment, temporal aggregation, and recovery persistence. Technical validation quantifies the consequences of preprocessing assumptions and documents spatial, temporal and warning-matching consistency. The dataset supports reproducible analysis of spatiotemporal co-occurrence between reported power disruptions and operational weather warnings while explicitly retaining limitations associated with the underlying outage record.
