From invention to progress: Energy technology innovation and sustainable development in OECD economies.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In the era of Industry 4.0, the advancement in energy technology has taken centre stage to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development. Ever since the adoption of the United Nations SDGs in 2015, different regions and countries have been moving to achieve these targets by implementing various mechanisms. The OECD is one such region where aggressive funding towards equipment with high energy efficiency and the advancement of technologies for producing and consuming renewable energy are provided to advance towards sustainable development. Given the economic significance of the aforementioned countries, this study evaluates the influence of energy technology innovation on sustainable development in OECD countries. Our research focuses on energy technology innovation, which we measure through the energy technology R&D budget. In addition to energy technology innovation, we consider several other control variables such as state fragility index, financial development and foreign direct investment. In order to achieve the aforementioned goal, we utilize advanced econometric modelling methods of the second generation. These techniques encompass a CSD test, unit root tests, cointegration test, and CS-ARDL model. The result from CS-ARDL suggests that energy technology innovation enhances sustainable development in the short and long run. State fragility is shown to influence sustainable development negatively and significantly. The role of financial development as well as foreign direct investment, is found to be favourable for sustainable development. Based on the outcome, it is recommended that countries of this region significantly increase investment in energy technology, enhance financial development and encourage foreign direct investment along with tackling the fragility of these nations to boost sustainable development.
