DM-FS: A Comprehensive Database on Death-Modulated Fatal Shootings.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In the USA, officers and civilians engage in fatal encounters, situations in which a member of one group is slain at the hands of the other. Research on fatal encounters spans disciplines and can save lives, yet it tends to draw from databases that may be partial, unidirectional, and contain methodological differences. To remedy these issues, we propose a database on Death-Modulated Fatal Shootings (DM-FS). DM-FS makes five substantial contributions, and we highlight three. First, DM-FS is bidirectional. It is one of the few databases that enable the empirical exploration of how death in one group, police, affects deaths in another, fatally shot civilians and vice-versa. Second, DM-FS is comprehensive. It contains the entire universe of applicable agencies between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2020. Third, it may be less partial than the status quo. Its rigorous validation procedures detected and corrected discrepancies between existing databases of fatally shot civilians: Fatal Encounters, Mapping Police Violence, Washington Post. DM-FS use cases are explored, such as in policymaking, modeling, and psychology.
