New legislation, new frontiers: Indian psychiatrists' perspective of the mental healthcare act 2017 prior to implementation.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
contextThe mental healthcare act 2017 represents a complete overhaul of Indian mental health legislation.
aimsThe aim of this study was to establish the opinions of Indian psychiatrists regarding the new act. SETTINGS: Mental health professionals in Bihar and Jharkhand were interviewed.
designA focus group design was utilized. MATERIALS AND
methodsKey questions explored the positive and negative aspects of the act and the management of the transitional phase. All focus groups were recorded and transcribed. ANALYSIS: Data were coded and analyzed using an inductive approach.
resultsMany positive aspects of the new legislation were identified especially relating to rights, autonomy, and the decriminalization of suicide. However, psychiatrists have significant concerns that the new legislation may negatively impact patients and increase stigma. Psychiatrists held varying views on the proposed licensing and inspection of general hospital psychiatric units.
conclusionsCareful evaluation of the new legislation is needed as the concerns raised warrant ongoing monitoring.
