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

introductionResearch has largely conceptualized suicidal ambivalence as the difference between one's wish to live and wish to die without fully considering other suicide ideation (SI) experiences included on measures like the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS). We utilized BSS items to identify SI latent classes and examined relevant correlates and outcomes.

methodsWe collected self-report data from two samples of US adults who: (1) self-identified as LGBTQ+ (N = 349; cross-sectional) and (2) self-reported past-week SI (BSS score ≥ 11; N = 133; 3 timepoints).

resultsLatent class analyses supported three-class (Sample 1) and four-class solutions (Sample 2), which included ambivalent classes. In Sample 1, sexual orientation, gender, depression, anxiety, SI, and suicide-specific rumination were concurrently associated with class membership. In Sample 2, depression, SI, suicide-specific rumination, and physical/psychological distance from suicide methods were concurrently associated with class membership. In Sample 2, at both follow-ups, suicide plans/preparations and Acute Suicidal Affective Disturbance symptom frequencies were provided by class membership, and suicidal intent significantly differed by class membership.

conclusionsSI classes differed by sample and evidenced nuances in SI and suicidal ambivalence. Risk factors and suicide-related outcomes also differed by class membership. Implications and limitations are discussed.
