Using the stress-vulnerability model to better understand suicide in prison populations.
Article in Psychiatry, psychology, and law : an interdisciplinary journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Suicide is the culmination of the interaction of a number of factors with the critical component being distress. The contribution of mental illness as a vulnerability factor in an individual case of suicide by a prisoner may be significant, marginal or non-existent. Because of the high prevalence in prison populations of all risk factors for suicide, relying solely on those factors is of little use in elaborating the risk of suicide for a given prisoner. Whilst a current mental illness or past history of a suicide attempt are two factors that appear to be strongly associated with completed suicide, no screening or risk assessment tool has any proven efficacy in predicting suicide in prison populations. The stress-vulnerability model offers a more sophisticated and comprehensive assessment and also informs a more individualised needs-based management of the risk of suicide with an emphasis on detecting and responding to a prisoner's distress.
