Spending to grow or growing to spend? Relationship between public health expenditure and income of Indian states.
Article in SSM - population health, 2023. 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
While there are concerns about low public health expenditure in most developing countries, the evidence on the linkage between public health expenditure and income is limited. In countries such as India, where massive public health programmes have been implemented over a period that experienced high economic growth, the relationship between two is a question of interest. We examine the relationship between two at sub-national level, as decisions regarding health are prerogative of the state government. We use data on gross state domestic product and public health expenditure over 1981-2017. Using a robust version of Granger causality that produces reliable results even in presence of parameter instabilities, we find presence of non-linear and bi-directional relationship between the two variables. We report inter-state differences in the income elasticity of health expenditure. These differences can be traced to the differing institutional set up, partly rooted in the administrative decisions taken in colonial India.
