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
Police negotiators respond to crisis and high-risk situations including mental health crises, but little is known about the nature, frequency and characteristics of these events. This systematic review examined literature about mental disorder and suicidality prevalence in negotiation events from peer-reviewed articles published within the last 20 years. Of 1455 articles identified, 11 met study inclusion criteria. Most contributed only indirect evidence using data on fatal police encounters, case reviews and analysis of communication techniques. Reliable prevalence estimates were not found, though findings suggest suicidality was a precipitating factor in more than half of events and was present during most events. Mental disorder (primarily substance use, mood and psychotic disorders) was also identified as a significant factor prior to and during events. Few articles described frequency or characteristics of these critical events. Further research is needed to inform frontline responses, resourcing and support pathways for police providing this crucial service.
