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

Patients with schizophrenia have an elevated risk of suicidal behavior. We explored whether there were age differences in inpatients with schizophrenia admitted for suicidal behavior. We compared demographic/clinical characteristics of 76 inpatients aged > 59 to those < 60. All patients had a score greater > 0 on items 4 (active suicidality) and/or 5 (passive suicidality) on the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation for inclusion. There were no significant group differences with respect to race, education, depressive symptoms or negative symptoms. There was evidence suggesting that hallucinations appear to be less prominent in the older group. Future studies will determine whether these age related differences are stable over time and could account for potential age differences in suicidal behavior in individuals with schizophrenia.
