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

Responding to mass shootings, some states have passed gun removal laws (e.g., NYS' SAFE Act), requiring that mental health professionals report patients who might potentially harm themselves/others. The purpose of this study was to assess whether knowledge of the SAFE Act impacts patients' mental health treatment-seeking and symptom-reporting behaviors. Patients at two mental health centers were surveyed during 2014-2018. Participants were asked if they would be concerned about being reported to county government, likelihood of seeking mental health treatment, and willingness to report mental health symptoms/behaviors given the SAFE Act's provisions. 228 patients (71.5% response rate) completed questionnaires. About 18% were concerned about being reported to county government, 9% would be less likely to seek mental health treatment, and about 23% would be less willing to report mental health symptoms/behaviors. Although these behaviors were not affected for most participants, there was a small minority who were concerned and less willing to report mental health symptoms/behaviors.
