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

A well-designed and managed electricity supply infrastructure system is essential for integrated energy market. This paper tracks progress on infrastructure for electricity trading in East Africa integrated electricity market. Using data on electricity infrastructure targets in Master Plan 2013-2023 and actual infrastructure delivered by 2022, we conducted earned value analysis (EVA) to establish whether the completed generation and transmission infrastructure can adequately facilitate electricity trading across EAC countries. Findings show that by 2022 the region had realized 54% of the 12,567MW planned generation capacity and 211% of transmission network targets. Investment inflows for infrastructure have been faster than anticipated with actual variance of 325%. This triggered 47% earned value in surplus load worth US$357million of trade, despite actual electricity trading not happening at the same pace. We construed some merit-order conditions for iterative planning to synchronize generation infrastructure with transmission infrastructure for trade efficiency.
