Stepped care for suicide prevention in teens and young adults: Design and methods of a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundSuicide is the second‑leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in the United States, with rates rising over much of the last decade. The design, testing, and implementation of interventions to prevent suicide in this population is a public health priority. This manuscript outlines the design and methods for a research study that compares two interventions aimed at reducing suicide and suicide attempts in youth.
methodsWe will enroll 300 youth aged 12-24 at high risk for suicide in this randomized controlled parallel group superiority trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: (1) Zero Suicide Quality Improvement (ZSQI) implemented within the Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) health system, or (2) ZSQI plus a stepped care intervention for suicide prevention (SC-SP), where the services offered (including care management and dialectical behavior therapy [DBT]) increase based on risk level. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, as well as 3-, 6-, and 12-months post randomization. The study was conceptualized and designed collaboratively by investigators at UCLA and KPNW.
resultsTo be reported in future manuscripts.
conclusionThe main objective of the study is to determine whether the SC-SP intervention is superior to ZSQI with regard to lowering rates of fatal and nonfatal suicide attempts. Interventions that incorporate the latest research need to be designed and tested under controlled conditions to make progress toward the goal of achieving zero suicide. The results from this trial will directly inform those efforts.
