    I read through it for the details.

    It was net negative, requiring 2MW of power to maintain hydrogen plasma in a state analogous to fusion. The major achievement of this particular experiment was doing so without energies equivalent to a fusion reaction damaging the containing assembly.

    It was purely a test/demonstration of the containment of fusion-like conditions.
