Energy Use and Economic Performance Nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multivariate Analysis.
Article in Open research Africa, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Sub-Saharan Africa's energy landscape is complex, with various factors influencing economic growth and development. Understanding the interplay between energy use, economic performance, and natural resources is crucial for sustainable development. This study investigates the relationships between energy use, GDP, low-carbon energy output, natural resources, and economic performance in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods This study employed advanced econometric techniques, including generalized linear models, generalized method of moments, and vector error correction models. Data from the Global Economy Database spanning 1990-2024 were analyzed to uncover relationships between energy use, GDP, low-carbon energy output, and natural resources. Results The analysis showed significant variations in low-carbon energy output (mean = 68.86 units), natural gas profit margin (mean = $0.10), and oil operating surplus (mean = $3.50). The GLM and GMM estimates revealed significant relationships between energy use and GDP (7.419%), low-carbon energy output (6.079%), natural gas profit margin (67.377%), and oil operating surplus (4.575%). The analysis revealed significant variability in low-carbon energy production, natural gas profitability, and oil operating surpluses. Statistical models showed strong correlations between energy consumption and GDP growth, as well as low-carbon energy output and natural resource utilization. Conclusions The study finds complex dynamics between the variables, with both short-term and long-term effects. The research contributes to existing knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the relationships between energy use, GDP, low-carbon energy output, natural resources, and economic performance, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable energy use and economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa. This research provides novel insights into the intricate relationships governing Sub-Saharan Africa's energy sector and economic development. The findings offer valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable energy use, economic growth, and environmental stewardship in the region.
