Ambitious climate targets can make the phaseout of India's coal-fired power plants cost-beneficial.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Given the urgency of climate change and the need for an energy transition, global coal power generation is rapidly declining. However, coal transition strategies optimized for cost-benefit and aligned with climate targets remain underexplored. Here, we develop a Plant-level Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Dynamic Optimization Model to conduct a cost-benefit optimization analysis for India's coal-fired power plants, through which the study proposes differentiated phaseout roadmaps aligned with the 1.5 °C and 2 °C climate targets. Our findings suggest that ambitious climate targets can yield more significant economic benefits, and more aggressive coal power retirement strategies are economically feasible. For example, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh could achieve the total net benefits of 171 and 110 billion US dollars in the 1.5 °C and 2 °C scenarios. Furthermore, incorporating social benefits into the evaluation will enhance the feasibility of the coal phaseout and reinforce India's decarbonization commitments.
