Legal Status and Deprivation in Urban Slums over Two Decades.
Article in Economic and political weekly, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In India, 59% of urban slums are "non-notified" or lack legal recognition by the government. We use data on 2,901 slums from four waves of the National Sample Survey spanning nearly 20 years to assess the relationship between a slum's legal status and the severity of deprivation in access to basic services, including piped water, latrines, and electricity. Our analysis reveals a progressive reduction in deprivation the longer that a slum has been notified. These findings suggest that legally recognizing non-notified slums and targeting government aid to these settlements may be crucial for improving health outcomes and diminishing urban disparities.
