Sustainable development beyond emissions: the role of ICT, load capacity factor, green technology patents, and energy transition in OECD countries.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Sustainable development has become one of today's most critical global issues due to environmental pressures and the need to preserve ecological balance. Therefore, evaluating the impact of variables such as information and communication technologies, green technology patents, renewable energy conversion, and load capacity factor on sustainability is critical for evidence-based policy design. This study examines the effects of information and communication technologies, green technology patents, green energy transition, and load capacity factor on sustainable development in selected OECD countries from 1991 to 2021. As an alternative to the existing literature, which generally addresses the environmental dimension of sustainable development using emission-based indicators, this study presents a comprehensive load capacity factor-based analytical framework that assesses environmental pressure and biocapacity together. To capture both long-run equilibrium relationships and heterogeneous dynamic effects across countries, the analysis employs the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimation methods. This approach enables the assessment of the environmental impacts of digitalization, green technological innovations, and the energy transition as a dynamic process that evolves and interacts over time, rather than a fixed structure. Empirical findings indicate that the impact of these variables on sustainable development varies across countries and policy frameworks. In particular, the interactions between green energy transition, digitalization, and load capacity factor emerge as decisive for effective policy design.
