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

Background: Borderline personality disorder is often associated with self-injurious behaviors that cause personal suffering, family distress, and substantial medical costs. Mental health hotlines exist in many countries and have been shown to be effective in some contexts, but none have been specifically designed for borderline patients. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of a 24/7 hotline dedicated to patients with borderline personality disorder on suicide attempts and self-injurious behaviors. Methods: We conducted a single-blind, multicenter (9 French centers) clinical trial with stratified randomization (by age, sex and center). Patients ( Results: The mean number of suicide attempts was 3 times lower in the hotline group (0.41 vs. 1.18, Conclusion: This study supports the effectiveness of hotlines in reducing self-aggressive behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. Such support is easy to use, cheap and flexible, and therefore easy to implement on a large scale.
