Improving Energy Access, Climate and Socio-Economic Outcomes Through Off-Grid Electrification Technologies: A Systematic Review.
Review in Campbell systematic reviews, 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
Halfway through the final decade of actions towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress toward SDG7 is off track. It is estimated that by 2030, 660 million people, mainly rural populations within Sub-Saharan Africa, will be without electricity. One promising avenue to counteract this trend is the provision of decentralised, or off-grid, renewable energy. Our systematic review synthesised the rigorous evidence evaluating off-grid electrification interventions and provides policymakers, practitioners and researchers across the sustainable energy field with an updated and comprehensive analysis of the impact of off-grid electrification interventions. Our systematic review synthesised the available rigorous evidence on the effects of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. We assessed which off-grid interventions are effective at supporting access, climate and socio-economic development outcomes, how these effects vary by region, population and other intervention characteristics and the main challenges and facilitators for interventions to benefit participants. We conducted a systematic search in 18 academic databases and 29 grey literature sources. We supplemented our searches by conducting backward and forward citation tracking, publishing a call for additional studies and contacting subject experts. To identify additional qualitative studies, we performed additional searches for studies related to interventions from our included impact evaluations. We included experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations of interventions promoting the use and uptake of off-grid technologies in low- and middle-income countries. Interventions fell into one of four categories: the
