Development of a Minimum Data Set (MDS) for the National Suicide Registry, India.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
backgroundSuicide is a major health concern around the globe, including India. Identifying various risk factors and confirming individual cases of is challenging to investigating agencies and clinicians. This study was carried out with the intention of preparing a standardized minimum data set (MDS) for the National Suicide Registry of India (NSRI) as recommended by the National Suicide Prevention Strategy (NSPS) for framing policy decisions on suicide.
methodsThis study was conducted in three steps: a literature review to identify data elements, appointing experts and finalization of MDS items and content validation by two rounds of Delphi. The data elements were validated by calculating content validity index (I-CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR).
resultAfter literature review, the extracted data elements were divided into eight headings and forwarded to multidisciplinary experts. A total of 28 experts participated in this study. A total of 176 data elements were evaluated, out of which 169 data elements were finalized based upon I-CVI and CVR calculation and used for standardizing this MDS.
conclusionA standardized MDS has been developed for NSRI. This MDS will facilitate uniform data collection on suicides across the country, addressing existing limitations in data collection. By analyzing data gathered through the MDS, policymakers can inform the NSPS, ultimately helping to reduce suicide rates in India.
