A Pilot Study of an Intervention to Prevent Suicide After Psychiatric Hospitalization.
Article in The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
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
A prior meta-analysis found that the World Health Organization Brief Intervention and Contact Program (WHO BIC) significantly reduces suicide risk. WHO BIC has not been studied in high-income countries. We piloted an adapted version of WHO BIC on an inpatient mental health unit in the United States. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability. We also evaluated changes in suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and connectedness using a repeated measures analysis of variance. Of 13 eligible patients, 9 patients enrolled. Patients experienced significant improvements in suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and connectedness at 1 and 3 months (Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation, F(2,16) = 14.96, p < 0.01; Beck Hopelessness Scale, F(2,16) = 5.88, p < 0.05; perceived burdensomeness subscale, F(2,16) = 10.97, p < 0.013; and thwarted belongingness subscale, F(2,16) = 4.77, p < 0.03). Patients were highly satisfied. An adapted version of WHO BIC may be feasible to implement in a high-resource setting, but trials need to confirm efficacy.
