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

backgroundThe knowledge and attitude of nonpsychiatric physicians regarding suicide in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients is important to prevent the accident related to suicide. However, most existing studies have focused on perception of and attitudes among psychiatric physician and mental health care worker.The aim of this study is to investigate awareness and attitude regarding suicide among clinicians treating patients with spinal cord injury, and the necessity of education for suicide prevention.

methodsA total of 29 subjects (N = 29; surgical group n = 17, nonsurgical group n = 12) participated in the study, 6 fellows and 23 residents. They answered a newly revised questionnaire that incorporated 18 items regarding perception of and attitude toward suicide, awareness of suicide in treatment of spinal cord injury patients, and psychiatric consultation; 13 items regarding education and experience; and 4 subjective items regarding their department. A χ test was performed to investigate differences in sociodemographic factors, awareness of and attitude toward suicide, and clinical experience with spinal cord injury patients. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify correlation between the questionnaire items.

resultsThere were significant differences between surgical and nonsurgical clinicians in 1 question (Q6) about awareness of and attitude toward suicide (P < .05) and in 2 questions (Q21, Q25) about psychiatric consultation and experience with suicide-related education (P < .01). The correlation analysis revealed significant differences in certain questions among awareness and attitude (P < .05) and age (P < .05) and specialty (P < .01). Two sets of questions (Q16/Q31, Q17/Q26) showed correlation between clinical experience with spinal cord injury patients and awareness of and attitude toward suicide (P < .05).

conclusionEducation regarding suicide prevention and suicide-related clinical experience with spinal cord injury patients is important for nonpsychiatric clinicians, such as those in the fields of orthopedics, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation medicine.
