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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine has caused disruptions to daily social and economic activities. Many people have felt trapped and alone, experiencing rising levels of worry and financial hardships. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic increases depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as suicidal ideas and attempts, particularly in vulnerable individuals. We report four cases of suicidal attempts during the COVID-19 outbreak due to the lockdown and related financial difficulties. Those cases were admitted to a general hospital from April 2020 to June 2020. The patients were all male, had negative coronavirus tests, and committed violent suicides by hanging and slitting their throats. After receiving the appropriate treatment, all cases were discharged from the hospital. The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic and social impacts could result in significant consequences for vulnerable persons. Screening and early intervention play a role in averting the pandemic's mental health consequences.
