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-sector decarbonisation requires large-scale investment in low-carbon technologies, yet only a limited share flows to low- and middle-income countries, partly due to higher financing costs and perceived risks. Most modelling exercises do not fully account for how the cost of capital may vary across regions and technologies, potentially influencing policy insights. We examine how plausible, expert-informed long-term trends in de-risking clean energy and increasing risks for fossil fuels could shape decarbonisation pathways, using an empirical dataset differentiated by country and technology. We also evaluate a "corrective justice" policy that taxes corporate windfall profits and redistributes revenues to support low-carbon investments in higher-risk regions. Results suggest that incorporating differentiated cost-of-capital trajectories may improve mitigation outcomes and help narrow the gap between current commitments and long-term climate targets, while indicating potential underestimation of risks associated with bioenergy-based negative emissions technologies in mitigation scenarios for high-income nations.
