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

BACKGROUNDS AND

objectivesEliminating veteran suicide is a top priority for the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Veterans with cancer may be at particular risk for suicidal ideation (SI). The current study aimed to understand factors associated with distress in veterans with cancer who were referred for psychology services, and identify problems associated with SI.

methodsHealth records of veterans with cancer (N = 174) were reviewed to abstract data, including results of National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer and Problems List and clinical suicide risk assessments.

resultsVeterans with severe distress were significantly more likely to endorse SI and have a history of suicide attempt(s) when compared with veterans with mild or moderate distress (χ

conclusionsThis study is among the first to find partner problems as a suicide risk factor for veterans with cancer; and, underscore the importance of assessing for partner problems and suicidal ideation among veterans with cancer. This study supports the VA mission to end veteran suicide and addresses a gap in current literature by investigating the understudied population of veterans living with cancer and risk factors for SI.
