Opportunities for Early Identification: Implementing Universal Depression Screening with a Pathway to Suicide Risk Screening in a Pediatric Health Care System.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo describe the implementation process and assess results of a large-scale universal depression screening program with pathways to suicide risk screening in a pediatric integrated delivery network. STUDY
designThis retrospective study analyzes depression and suicide risk screening data for 95 613 patients ages 12-17 years.
resultsOf the 95 613 adolescent patients who were screened for depression, 2.4% (2266) screened positive for risk for moderate-severe depression (>10 Patient Health Questionnaire; 9-item version) and 4.1% (3942) endorsed elevated suicide risk (≥1 Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale). Overall, 51% of screened patients who present with a primary psychiatric concern screened positive for elevated risk of suicide (2132). Two percent of screened patients who presented with a primary medical concern screened positive for elevated risk of suicide. Nearly one-half (45.9%) of all elevated suicide risk screenings were from patients with a primary medical concern.
conclusionsA large-scale universal depression screening program with a pathway to identify elevated suicide risk was implemented in a pediatric health care system using the Patient Health Questionnaire and the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale. This screening program identified youth with moderate-severe depression and elevated risk for suicide with and without presenting psychiatric concerns across service settings.
