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

In the presence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a lengthy period of movement-control order had caused huge negative impact on the socioeconomic status of some patients and affected their mental health. Self-quarantine in this pandemic era serves as a major stressful event that may lead to psychosis and depression. Cases of suicide and attempted suicide raised drastically throughout the pandemic. We are discussing two cases of attempted suicide by people who were traumatized in different ways by the COVID-19 pandemic, but they chose the same solution with a similar method, cutting their throats in order to commit suicide. Both cases were proceeded with emergency neck exploration, laryngeal repair, and tracheostomy. Postoperatively, psychiatric and psychological treatment was initiated.
