Psychometric properties of the Death Reflection Scale - Indian version.
Article in MethodsX, 2024. 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
Contemplation of mortality often helps people to become more mindful of their living, cherishing relationships, experiences and opportunities. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the validity of the Death Reflection Scale within the Indians. A non-clinical sample of 381 participants age ranges from 19 to 90 years participated in this study. The Death Reflection Scale is a widely recognized tool to gauge positive aspects on reflecting about mortality. The scale's validity and reliability throughout the German population was demonstrated to be appropriate and relevant. Given the shared cultural similarities among diverse Eastern ethnicities, this validation offers the potential for application across various countries. However, it is crucial to research its validity and reliability using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the Indian population. The validity of the scale was confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), yielding a CFI of 0.951. The Goodness Fit Index of 0.929 and RMSEA of 0.07 indicating a reasonably good fit. The scale's discriminant, convergent, and factorial validity were all proven by the results, which also showed its reliability (α =0.92). These results imply that the Death Reflection Scale's Indian validation satisfies the fundamental requirements for psychological evaluations, proving its appropriateness for use in scholarly research.•Quantitative method used in validating the questionnaire.•Cultural validation has been done to ensure cultural relevance and appropriateness.•Reliability and consistency have been established.
