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

Research on the brain regions involved in suicidal behavior has led to the identification of a number of regions as being implicated in the neurobiology of suicide. Some of the brain regions identified have a clear correlation between the levels of activity and suicidal behavior. For some regions, such as the insular cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), both hyperactivity and hypoactivity have been correlated with suicidal behavior. More studies are needed to characterize more clearly the activity of the insular cortex and ACC when it comes to suicidal behavior. The case report presented adds to the literature seeking to clarify the correlation between ACC and insular activities and suicidal behavior. Structural damage of the insular region and ACC, thus leading to a decline in their activity level, was found in a patient who had resolution of suicidal intent after hypoxic brain injury. We discuss the significance of our findings for the neurobiology of suicide.
