Assessing post-conflict electric power supply reliability in low voltage distribution networks of Aksum Ethiopia.

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
Conflicts in different regions of the world have had significant consequences on electric power supply appliances. This study was conducted in Ethiopia's Aksum town low-voltage (LV) electric supply lines using reliability indices, including SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and EENS, before, during, and after the post-period. Accordingly, the findings indicate that severe reliability problems occurred due to the conflict, which resulted in power interruptions (both forced and operational), infrastructure damage, the displacement of skilled engineers, and inadequate recovery efforts. The study introduced a mixed auditing mechanism, analyzed historical power outage data, and evaluated performance-based reliability indices. Results indicate that before the conflict relatively stable power supply, with manageable outage durations and energy losses. However, during the two-year conflict (2020-2022), the average SAIDI value peaked at 1,626.4 h, the CAIDI flowed to 2,507.31 h, and EENS intensified to 10,480.52 MWh, reflecting significant disruptions. Six months post-conflict, significant recovery efforts improved these metrics, though supply stability challenges persist. The resulting reliability of the post-conflict reliability indices exceeds international benchmarks, with SAIDI over 1-5 h, SAIFI above 0.5, and CAIDI over 5 h. Despite post-conflict improvements, high SAIFI values show supply instability. Strengthen infrastructure, improve maintenance, and enhance auditing for reliable power.
