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

backgroundSuicide treatment research has placed major emphasis on preventing behavior, an observable phenomenon. Suicidal ideation (SI), however, is a distressing experience that annually impacts >15 million Americans; yet the construct validity of SI has not been well established, limiting empirical attention.

methodWe compared the coherence of three SI items (diminished wish to live, urge to die/controllability, suicide intent/expectations) and four related items across three adult samples (N = 314) that differed based on current SI severity and assessment time-scales (retrospective versus momentary).

resultsA measurement model with scalar invariance had acceptable fit (CFI = 0.969, RMSEA = 0.076), indicating that the SI items consistently loaded onto one construct across samples. The structural model with metric invariance also had acceptable fit (CFI = 0.956, RMSEA = 0.063) and three of four related items (burdensome, hopelessness, and fatigue, but not agitation) were associated with SI across samples. LIMITATIONS: Use of existing data limited the items considered.

conclusionsSuicidal ideation is a coherent construct independent of the items used to assess it, the assessment's time-scale (retrospective versus momentary), or the severity of thoughts, and is worthy of greater empirical, clinical, and policy attention.
