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

Energy technology plays a crucial role in driving innovative and sustainable solutions in the evolving energy sector. This study addresses the fragmented understanding of the regulatory, economic, environmental, and social enablers essential for technological development in sustainable energy enterprises (SEEs). The study addresses the gap in the literature concerning how social, economic, technological, and environmental factors interrelate to influence technology innovation development. This research aims to identify and rank critical success factors (CSFs), analyze their interdependencies, and examine their driving power and dependence. Data were collected from eleven energy entrepreneurs, and the relationships among eight factors were evaluated via total interpretive structural modeling (TISM), and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) was employed to categorize autonomous, driving, dependent, and linkage factors. The results highlight market dynamics as the foundation factor for technological development, whereas long-term sustainability emerges as the most dependent factor. Risk management, resilience, partnerships, and collaboration are identified as key linkage factors that influence SEE innovation. While the small sample size is a limitation, the findings provide valuable insights for energy entrepreneurs, practitioners, and policymakers by identifying CSFs that support informed decision-making, resource allocation, and strategy development for effective technology development. The study recommends fostering partnerships, adopting cost-reduction approaches to enhance performance, and investing in continuous research and development to ensure technological feasibility, differentiation, and market adaptability. The theoretical contribution lies in bridging research gaps through empirical insights, integrating existing theories, and paving the way for future studies in the growing field of sustainable energy innovation.
