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.

6 · The paper itself

Abstract

contextIt is estimated that approximately one in four people know someone who has taken their own life and that one suicide death leaves six or more suicide survivors.

aimsThe aim of this paper was to review the literature regarding the association between suicide and bereavement, focusing also on the supportive and therapeutic resources available for survivors. MATERIALS AND

methodsCareful MedLine and PsycINFO searches for the period 1980-2013.

resultsThe review of the literature indicates that emotional turmoil in suicide survivors may last a long time and, in some cases, may end with their own suicide.

conclusionFuture research should evaluate the efficacy of professional treatments and of support groups targeting suicide survivors. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: It is crucial to understand the bereavement process after the suicide of a significant other in order to provide proper care, reduce stigma, and improve the outcomes of related psychiatric conditions.
