Non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal thoughts and behaviors: A study of the explanatory roles of the interpersonal theory variables among military service members and veterans.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveResearch has identified non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a robust correlate of suicidal thoughts and behaviors; however, little is known regarding why these constructs may be related. Consistent with the interpersonal theory of suicide, this study investigated thwarted belongingness (TB), perceived burdensomeness (PB), and capability for suicide (CS) as explanatory links in the association between NSSI, ideation, and suicide attempt history.
methodMilitary service members and veterans (N = 973; age
resultsTB and PB significantly accounted for the relationship between lifetime NSSI and current ideation. TB did not moderate the mediating effect of PB on NSSI and ideation, and PB did not moderate the mediating effect of TB. However, CS significantly moderated the mediating effects of TB and PB on NSSI and attempt history.
conclusionsThe interpersonal theory of suicide hypotheses were partially supported. Consistent with the theory, the interaction of TB and PB only explained NSSI and attempt history among service members with high levels of CS. TB and PB only individually explained the association between lifetime NSSI and recent suicidal ideation. Prospective studies are warranted to replicate these findings across other military samples.
