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

objectiveCross-sectional research with adult samples suggests that hopelessness may indirectly affect suicidal ideation (SI) through overall depressive symptom severity. However, particular depressive symptom constellations, rather than overall symptoms, may underlie the association between hopelessness and SI. Yet, the cross-sectional nature of these studies precludes examination of the temporal associations among these constructs.

methodsUsing path analysis, the present study examined whether depression-related emotional problems mediate the relation between hopelessness and SI in a clinical sample of 110 adolescents over a 6-month period. The specificity of depression-related emotional problems as a mediator was also evaluated.

resultsAfter accounting for covariates, results supported the specificity of 3-month depression-related emotional problems as a mediator of the association between baseline levels of hopelessness and 6-month SI.

conclusionResults suggest that treatment targeted specifically at hopelessness may help reduce depression-related emotional problems and lower SI, and ultimately, adolescent suicide risk.
