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

Achieving global development targets will largely depend on improvements made by developing and populous countries like India. Given the huge population base and diversely wide landscape of India, stakeholders and policy-makers at smaller geographic levels must be equipped with data to understand their respective territories and the target sub-groups. This paper presents the output of India Policy Insights; a project aimed at offering a comprehensive dataset of 122 key indicators on population health and social determinants across 720 districts and 543 Parliamentary Constituencies (PCs) in India. Drawing upon the household survey data from two rounds (2016 and 2021) of National Family Health Surveys along with other government-backed repositories, we provide district- and PC-specific prevalence estimates (%), progress in the prevalence (percentage points) for 122 indicators, and indicator-specific headcount numbers (for 2021). These data enable the tracking of developmental progress in India and, in doing so, will facilitate informed policy discussions and promote public engagement.
