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

objectiveTo assess the efficacy of a selective, personality-targeted intervention for reducing suicidal ideation in adolescents.

designPost hoc analysis of survey data collected in the Climate and Preventure (CAP) study, a cluster randomised controlled trial that compared strategies for reducing alcohol misuse by adolescents, 2012-2015. SETTING,

participantsYear 8 students at 16 New South Wales non-government schools and one Victorian non-government school.

interventionPreventure, a selective, personality-targeted intervention designed to help adolescents with personality risk factors for alcohol misuse, comprising two 90-minute sessions, one week apart. For our post hoc analysis, we combined data from the two CAP trial groups in which Preventure was offered (the Preventure and the Preventure/Climate Schools [a non-selective prevention strategy] groups) as the intervention group; and data from the two groups in which Preventure was not offered (usual health education only [control] and Climate Schools groups) as the control group.

main outcome measureDifference between post hoc control and intervention groups in the change in proportions of students reporting suicidal ideation during the preceding six months (single item of Brief Symptom Inventory depression subscale) over three years.

resultsA total of 1636 students (mean age at baseline, 13.3 years; standard deviation, 0.5 years) were included in our analysis, of whom 1087 (66%) completed the suicidal ideation item in the three-year follow-up assessment. The post hoc control group included 755 students (nine schools), the intervention group 881 students (eight schools). After adjusting for nesting of students in schools and sex, reporting of suicidal ideation by students who had received Preventure had declined over three years, compared with the control group (per year: adjusted odds ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.66-0.97).

conclusionPersonality-targeted selective prevention during early secondary school can have a lasting impact on suicidal ideation during adolescence. TRIAL REGISTRATION (CAP STUDY ONLY): Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12612000026820 (prospective).
