Correlation study of indices on health status and social progress among Indian states.

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
Introduction: The health status of a population is determined by biological, behavioural, environmental, immunological, nutritional, genetic and social factors. Two prominent measures of health status are the Burden of Disease (BoD) and Health Index (HI). Another measure called the Social Progress Index (SPI) reflects the socio-economic status of a nation. We aim to correlate the indices to understand their inter-relationships. Methods: Data were abstracted into MS Excel, tabulated and analysed R. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to correlate SPI and HI. Quantum Geographic Information System (Q-GIS), a free open-source software to analyse, create and map spatial data was used for visualisation. Results: Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a positive relation between SPI and HI. While a negative correlation was found when these two indices were correlated with BoD measures for communicable diseases (death rate and disability-adjusted life year), injuries and a positive correlation is observed with non-communicable diseases. Conclusion: We hypothesise that social progress and health are associated.
