Arrest history and psychopathology among veterans at risk for suicide.
Article in Psychological services, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
While preliminary evidence suggests an association between legal involvement and suicide risk among veterans, no research to date has explored the prevalence and/or correlates of legal involvement among veterans at high risk for suicide. The current study examined the relation of suicide attempt, suicidal ideation, and psychopathology to history of criminal arrest in a sample of 286 veterans at risk for suicide. Results indicated approximately half (47%) of at-risk veterans had a history of arrest. Inconsistent with hypotheses, arrest history was not associated with history of suicide attempt, current suicidal ideation, or severity of psychopathological symptoms. Arrest history was, however, associated with diagnoses of substance use disorder and antisocial personality disorder in this high-suicide risk sample. Further, likelihood of an antisocial personality disorder diagnosis was associated with higher frequency of past arrests. Taken together, results indicate that many veterans at risk for suicide have a history of arrest, and at-risk veterans with such history likely have a specific pattern of psychopathology, including antisocial personality traits and substance use. As such, legal status and history of justice involvement may be important considerations when assessing suicide risk and management of this high-risk population.
