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

We evaluate the effectiveness of a sanitation marketing intervention aimed at increasing the supply of improved toilet products by local businesses and the household demand for toilets in rural Nigeria. Results from a randomized controlled trial show that treated businesses were more likely to produce and market the new toilet model and to engage in the sales of sanitation products more generally. However, we find no discernible impact on household toilet ownership rates. Evidence from interviews with sales agents employed by the business and responsible for about half of the sales suggest that inadequate incentives for sales agents and household affordability constraints may explain these results.
