Examining patterns of assistive device distribution under the Indian ADIP scheme from 2020 to 2025.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 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
Access to assistive devices is essential for the rehabilitation and social participation of persons with disabilities and constitutes one of the major development strategies for persons with disabilities in India. The Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids and Appliances (ADIP) scheme was introduced by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India as an initiative to support economically disadvantaged people with disabilities in procuring such devices. Despite its national mandate, there is limited literature on how the scheme is implemented across Indian states. This study examines interstate variation in the implementation of the ADIP scheme in India over 5 years, from 2020 to 2025. Using secondary data from publicly available sources, three indicators were constructed: beneficiary coverage relative to the disabled population, fund utilization per beneficiary, and beneficiaries served per distribution camp. To assess the degree of interstate inequality, descriptive statistical methods, including coefficient of variation and range ratio, were applied. The findings reveal differences in fund utilization and camp outreach, highlighting uneven implementation of the scheme. The results indicate that access to assistive devices under the ADIP scheme is geographically spread unequally across Indian states and Union Territories (UTs). Therefore, this study advocates for more balanced, region-specific implementation strategies to ensure equity in beneficiary coverage.
