Synthesis in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07120477 (Esketamine Versus Crisis Response Planning Versus Enhanced Treatment as Usual for Suicide Prevention), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in children and adolescents is a frequent phenomenon. NSSI at any time is a significant predictor of future NSSI but also, and more importantly, for suicide attempts. Less evidence is available for the impact, or more specifically, the therapeutic effect of psychotropic drugs on the emergence of NSSI in this population. The phenomenon is clinically highly relevant since adolescent psychiatric inpatients are often affected by NSSI and most of them are treated with psychotropic drugs. While previous reviews on NSSI comprised suicidal self-injury (SSI), this review aims at elucidating the potential impact of psychotropic drugs on the emergence of specifically NSSI in children and adolescents. Systematic searches of articles indexed electronically in PubMed, Embase and PsycInfo were conducted (PROSPERO CRD42020209505). Studies included in the quantitative synthesis were evaluated using the SIGN level of evidence rating. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan (Version 5.4). 2227 records were identified through database searches. Two additional records were identified manually. In total, seven studies were included in qualitative and four studies in quantitative analyses. In a meta-analysis, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were compared vs. control medication (placebo or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and here, no statistically significant difference between the groups could be observed regarding the frequency of NSSI events (Risk Ratio (RR) = 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.60-1.91, p = 0.82, I
