Climate vulnerability and governance impact the payoff of policy drivers for SDG 7 outcomes in BRICS countries.
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
Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) in large emerging economies requires energy policies that operate under diverse institutional and climatic conditions. We examine BRICS countries over 2000-2022 to assess how climate vulnerability and governance quality condition the estimated marginal effects of environmental policy stringency, innovation, financial development, inequality, and demographic structure on energy access, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. A two-stage empirical framework combines moderated GLS estimation with post-estimation evaluation of marginal-effect surfaces across contrasting governance-vulnerability regimes and country-specific conditions. The results show that stronger governance and lower climate vulnerability are generally associated with more favorable estimated effects of finance, innovation, and policy stringency, while weak governance and high vulnerability can weaken or reverse these relationships. Policy priorities also differ across SDG 7 subgoals and BRICS economies. These findings support context-specific energy policies that align institutional strengthening and climate resilience with SDG 7 implementation.
