Translation and validation of the reasons for living inventory (RFLI) for use in India.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2026. 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
Background: Suicide is a major public health concern in India, while reasons for living may act as protective factors against self-harm. Reasons for living inventory (RFLI) for evaluating such factors is not available in Hindi. Aim: We aimed to translate and validate RFLI in Hindi and test on persons with depression. Methods: In this four-step cross-sectional study, International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines were followed for translation and validation. Healthy participants aged 18-60 years, all genders, proficient in both Hindi and English, participated in the three-step process (sample I; Results: After due translation, back-translation and finalization of items, the scale was administered on sample I. Items were modified if needed. In sample II, Cronbach alpha for Hindi version was 0.721 (Total RFL). Intraclass correlation of translated Hindi version was examined with a 95% confidence interval. Mental health and language experts modified it. In sample III, the Cronbach alpha improved to 0.775. There was a significant correlation between Hindi and English versions of final scale and statistically significant negative correlation between Survival Coping Beliefs Subscale (SCBS) score of RFLI and scores on BDI (r = -.383, Conclusion: RFLI was translated into simple, comprehensible Hindi, had high Cronbach alpha. Higher the SCBS, the lower the depression (BDI) and suicidality (BSS).
