Suicidal ideation among individuals with dysvascular lower extremity amputation.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05082870 (Using a Psychosocial Transitional Group to Improve Adaptation, Coping and Mental Health Outcomes Following Limb Loss), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the estimated prevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation (SI) among individuals 1 year after a first lower extremity amputation (LEA).
designCohort survey.
settingFour medical centers.
participantsA referred sample of patients (N=239), primarily men, undergoing their first LEA because of complications of diabetes mellitus or peripheral arterial disease, were screened for participation between 2005 and 2008. Of these patients, 136 (57%) met study criteria and 87 (64%) enrolled; 70 (80.5%) of the enrolled patients had complete data regarding SI at 12-month follow-up.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresSI, demographic/health information, depressive symptoms, mobility, independence in activities of daily living (ADL), satisfaction with mobility and ADL, medical comorbidities, social support, self-efficacy.
resultsAt 12 months postamputation, 11 subjects (15.71%) reported SI; of these, 3 (27.3%) screened negative for depression. Lower mobility, lower satisfaction with mobility, greater impairment in ADL, lower satisfaction with ADL, lower self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms were all correlated with the presence of SI at a univariate level; of these, only depressive symptoms remained significantly associated with SI in a multivariable model.
conclusionsSI was common among those with recent LEA. Several aspects of an amputee's clinical presentation, such as physical functioning, satisfaction with functioning, and self-efficacy, were associated with SI, although depression severity was the best risk marker. A subset of the sample endorsed SI in the absence of a positive depression screen. Brief screening for depression that includes assessment of SI is recommended.
