1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Loudness dependence of auditory evoked potentials (LDAEP) is a validated in vivo marker of central serotonergic function. We aimed at measuring serotonergic activity in a follow-up study of suicidal patients. It should be investigated whether suicide attempts or suicidal states cause changes in the LDAEP. Thirteen patients (mean age, 40.9 ± 11.3 years; age range, 20-61, 6 male) with a major depressive episode who had attempted suicide or had suicidal plans (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale item 3 [suicidality] ≥3) were included in the study. LDAEP and psychometric measurements took place about 2, 5, 9 and 16 days after attempted suicide or suicidal action. On day 9, LDAEP was significantly higher compared to day 2 and day 16; there was a similar tendency compared to day 5. Instability of central serotonergic function is suggested resulting in reduced serotonergic activity about 1 week after suicide attempt. Further studies are necessary that include larger samples in order to distinguish between different psychiatric diseases and to consider confounding factors like gender, smoking, medication, impulsivity or lethality of suicidal action.
