The unseen carbon: Scope 3 emissions transform understanding of electricity generation in import-dependent nations.

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
Energy system decarbonization requires accurate emissions accounting. While many import-dependent nations rely on foreign fuels, infrastructure, and technologies for electricity generation, their emissions calculations often overlook critical supply chain and life cycle impacts. This study applies life cycle assessment to evaluate the comprehensive carbon footprint of electricity production in import-dependent economies, encompassing direct operations (Scope 1), energy use (Scope 2), and supply chain emissions (Scope 3). Analysis reveals that conventional accounting methods significantly underestimate environmental impacts by excluding upstream and downstream emissions. This expanded assessment framework provides policymakers and investors with more accurate data for evaluating decarbonization strategies. The findings demonstrate the importance of incorporating complete supply chain emissions into national inventories to effectively guide energy transition policies and investment decisions toward genuine carbon reduction goals.
