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

Background: Demand-side behavioral change is an important component of sustainable energy transitions, yet limited evidence explains how renewable energy literacy translates into distinct forms of energy-saving behavior in emerging economies. Methods: This cross-sectional quantitative explanatory study surveyed 195 members of the Indonesia Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association. Renewable energy literacy was modeled as the predictor, personal energy values and energy attitudes as mediators, and energy-saving behavior as a multidimensional second-order construct comprising curtailment, efficiency, and pro-social behaviors. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling in SmartPLS 4 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Results: Renewable energy literacy was positively associated with energy-saving behavior directly and indirectly through personal energy values and energy attitudes. The total effect of renewable energy literacy on energy-saving behavior was substantial (β = 0.599, p < .001), while the direct effect was smaller (β = 0.182, p = .023). Personal energy values (indirect β = 0.241, p < .001; VAF = 57%) and energy attitudes (indirect β = 0.176, p < .001; VAF = 49%) both partially mediated this relationship. Mediated effects were stronger for pro-social and curtailment behaviors than for efficiency behavior. Conclusions: Literacy-based interventions can support energy conservation by strengthening conservation-oriented values and favorable attitudes. However, efficiency-related actions may require complementary economic or policy instruments because they are more likely to involve capital investment and structural constraints.
