Harnessing the wind energy potential in Yamoussoukro, the Economic Capital of Côte d'Ivoire.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. 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
Understanding and harnessing renewable energy potential is imperative for developing nations in the context of climate change. However, the wind potential of Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire, remains inadequately explored. This study employs a Longitudinal Observational Study design, acquiring data at 1-min intervals to capture the dynamic wind characteristics. The research focuses on refining ground data and estimating wind potential using a DAVIS Pro weather station with a cup anemometer for speed and a wind vane for direction. Wind speed and direction are measured in meters per second and degrees. Two distinct approaches are employed for data analysis: arithmetic and cubic averages provide representative values, and the Two-Parameter Weibull Probability Distribution Functions, determined through the method of moments, offer insights into the wind distribution pattern. The study's findings indicate an 8-h time slot during which the wind potential permits obtaining an annual energy production of 53,38 kW/h/m2, a valuable window of opportunity. The rainy season, particularly May, has the highest average monthly wind speed, while the dry season in December has the lowest. Furthermore, the wind rose analysis reveals that the prevailing winds blow from south to north, further highlighting the region's wind potential. The results affirm that Yamoussoukro harbors a moderate wind potential, aptly harnessed through Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). This discovery holds significant implications for sustainable development, highlighting the city's potential to transition towards a greener, more energy-efficient economy. Yamoussoukro is poised to contribute substantially to renewable energy and climate change mitigation efforts by unlocking the untapped wind energy potential.
