That's what you asked for initially; I'd probably spell it as

  location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://mysite.com/$arg_title;
  }

to make it clear what exactly is happening, and which might point out
the parts you didn't specify:

what should happen if I ask for any of

  /index.php?something=else
  /index.php?title=my_test_page&something=other
  /index.php

? With the above code, the second will possibly redirect the way you want,
and the others probably won't.

Also, what should happen when I ask for

  /my_test_page

? I will do that immediately after you redirect me there.

If you can describe the complete behaviour you want, the nginx
configuration needed to achieve it may become clear.
