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

introductionSuicide in people without a mental health diagnosis pose a clinical challenge that is still poorly understood by psychiatrists, generating the debate between respecting the patient's autonomy right or supporting involuntary admissions after a lethal gesture to rule out psychopathology. AIMS AND

methodsThe authors take a case of an 81-year-old man without mental health history who, after his first suicide attempt by ingesting floor cleaners, presented acute kidney failure that required to initiate haemodialysis to preserve his life. Despite being aware of the fatal outcome in case of rejecting it, he denied the dialysis and verbalize the persistence of suicide ideation. This publication complies with the agreements of the Declaration of Helsinki and the informed consent was obtained from his wife.

resultsIt was finally considered that the patient maintained his capacity for judgment and no involuntary measures were taken, with family consent. Finally, he passed away ten days after carrying out the suicide attempt. DISCUSSION: He was evaluated up to three times by mental health professionals and, after deciding that he had preserved judgment, his decision was respected. The patient passed away ten days later.

conclusionsThis approach could help psychiatrics better understand suicide behaviour in cases we don't make a mental health diagnosis.
