Trial reportBMJ (Clinical research ed.)2001
Randomised controlled trial of brief psychological intervention after deliberate self poisoning.
Trial report in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01823120 (Text Message Intervention to Reduce Repeat Self-harm in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department), which is not on this map. Cited by 78 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo determine the effects of a brief psychological intervention (brief psychodynamic interpersonal therapy) for patients after deliberate self poisoning compared with usual treatment. To compare the impact of the active intervention and usual treatment on patients' satisfaction with care.
designRandomised controlled trial.
participants119 adults who had deliberately poisoned themselves and presented to the emergency department of a teaching hospital.
settingCommunity based study.
interventionFour sessions of therapy delivered in the patient's home. Control patients received "treatment as usual," which in most cases consisted of referral back to their general practitioner. OUTCOME MEASURES: Severity of suicidal ideation six months after treatment as assessed by the Beck scale for suicidal ideation. Secondary outcome measures at six month follow up included depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck depression inventory, patient satisfaction with treatment, and self reported subsequent attempts at self harm.
resultsParticipants randomised to the intervention had a significantly greater reduction in suicidal ideation at six month follow up compared with those in the control group (reduction in the mean (SD) Beck scale 8.0 v 1.5). They were more satisfied with their treatment and were less likely to report repeated attempts to harm themselves at follow up (proportion repeating 9% v 28% in control group; difference 19%, 95% confidence interval 9% to 30 %, P=0.009).
conclusionBrief psychodynamic interpersonal therapy may be a valuable treatment after people have deliberately tried to poison themselves.
