Cash transfer program and willingness to pay for environmental services among the ultra-poor in Pakistan.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study examines the impact of cash support from the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) on willingness to pay for environmental services (WTPfES) among the ultra-poor in Pakistan using a quasi-experimental approach. We conduct empirical analysis using cross-sectional data of 1200 households by applying the regression discontinuity design (RDD) approach. The RDD-based empirical results show that BISP cash support positively impacts the willingness to pay for environmental services such as drinking water, sanitation, and waste disposal management services. The empirical analysis further depicts that cash assistance has a positive and significant impact on the willingness to participate in environmental services at the household and community levels. In addition, the additional income from the BISP helps families achieve better living standards and improve environmental services. The use of environmental services ultimately leads to better health among the target groups. The government may expand unconditional cash support to increase the use of quality environmental services.
