Climate change impact on future Egypt's wind energy: a CMIP6-based assessment of power output.
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
Egypt possesses substantial potential for renewable energy generation, prompting heavy national investments to increase the share of wind power in its overall energy portfolio. Consequently, it is crucial to evaluate the long-term vulnerability of future wind energy production to climate change. This study fills a critical gap in regional climate-energy modelling by providing a novel quantification of turbine-specific capacity ratios across four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5). Through a comparative assessment of 23 CMIP6 Global Climate Models (GCMs), EC-Earth3-Veg, EC-Earth3, and CESM2-WACCM were identified as the most reliable models against historical ERA5-Land data using the Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) metric, followed by Quantile Mapping for bias correction of both historical and future scenarios. Evaluating nine wind turbine models (T1-T9) revealed that T1 and T2 maintained the highest historical capacity ratios, peaking at 68.0-76.5% and 59.5-68.0%, respectively. By 2100, meteorological projections indicate a regional warming trend coupled with a decrease in mean wind speed; notably, the high-emission SSP5-8.5 scenario projects the highest mean temperature (28 °C) and lowest mean wind speed (3.8 m/s). Despite these declines, future projections for T1 and T2 indicate resilient power generation and localized increases in strategic locations, such as Ras Ghareb and southern Egypt, particularly under the SSP2-4.5 scenario. Ultimately, these findings provide essential data-driven insights for energy planners to optimize turbine selection and site development, ensuring the long-term resilience of Egypt's wind energy infrastructure.
