The acceptability of screening for suicide risk among youth in outpatient medical settings: Child and parent perspectives.
Article in Journal of psychosocial oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivePsychosocial providers in medical settings are increasingly being asked to identify suicide risk in youth with medical illnesses. This pilot study aimed to determine the acceptability of suicide risk screening among youth with cancer and other serious illnesses and their parents.
methodsYouth ages 8-21 years presenting to an outpatient medical setting were screened for suicide risk using a modified version of the Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) screening tool. Patient and parent perceptions of acceptability were collected.
findingsThe sample included 32 patient/parent dyads. The overall positive screen rate was 9.4% (n = 3/32). Most patients (75%; n = 24/32) and parents (84.4%; n = 27/32) reported that medical settings should screen young patients for suicide risk.
conclusionsSuicide risk screening was acceptable to most patients and parents in a pediatric clinic. IMPLICATIONS FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL PROVIDERS: Medically ill patients are at risk for suicide. Universal suicide risk screening using a validated measure can provide meaningful clinical information to patients' families and providers and has the potential to save young lives.
