SDG progress and the challenge of inclusive wealth sustainability.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
This study investigates whether progress toward the sustainable development goals (SDGs) translates into long-term sustainability, measured through changes in inclusive wealth. Using a balanced panel of 90 countries (2000-2019), we model the relationship between all 17 SDGs and per-capita produced, human, and natural capital within the inclusive wealth index framework. We apply Cubist regression to capture nonlinear and heterogeneous effects, and project SDG and wealth trajectories to 2040 under business-as-usual, pessimistic, and accelerated scenarios. Results show that SDG progress is positively associated with inclusive wealth, largely driven by gains in produced and human capital, but often accompanied by declines in natural capital. Accelerated SDG progress yields the highest projected wealth gains, though outcomes vary substantially across countries and are not uniformly sustainable. These findings validate the SDGs' universality and indivisibility while highlighting the need to complement indicator-based monitoring with wealth-based metrics to better align development pathways with long-term sustainability.
