The material stock needed to reduce disparity in access to basic services: a case study of India, across spatial scales.
Article in npj urban sustainability, 2025. 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
The relationship between built environment stocks and living standards is critical to sustainable development. Yet the coupling of environmental impacts and human development outcomes warrants greater consideration. Here, we assess development outcomes associated with built environment services and quantify their relationship to the material composition of such services, across scales, for the first time, using India as a topical testbed. The multiscale model we present reveals that the provision of built environment services remains a challenge within India, with varying heterogeneity across spatial scales of intervention. This highlights the need for assessment across these scales to identify the most suitable intervention points. We show that brick and concrete stocks have grown in conjunction with development outcomes. Building on this, we estimate that upgrading inadequate housing would require between 2.2 and 5.3 Gt of material, which represents approximately 0.5% of the global carbon budget remaining to stay within 1.5° of warming.
