District mental health program: Then and now.
Review in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
District Mental Health Program (DMHP) is part of the broader National Mental Health Program (NMHP) launched in 1982. In India, DMHP has evolved over the years, moving from a pilot project to an integrated component of the NMHP. Efforts have been made to expand services, protect the rights of individuals with mental illness, and integrate mental healthcare into the primary healthcare system. Recent updates and efforts taken by the Government of India and state governments (60% and 40% budget share respectively) have improved the quality of services provided under DMHP. With the increasing use of the internet and mobile technology, DMHP has spread its arena of services more deeply and widely in the last few years reaching up to 738 districts in the country. However, there is still work to be done to address many challenges associated with mental health in India though the recent developments seem promising as a substantial number of patients are now having access to the programme. This narrative review is the summary of information available to date on the evolution of implementation and expansion of DMHP over the years and provides a gist of the positive aspects as well as limitations of the DMHP witnessed in recent years.
