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 is a leading cause of death among Native American youth and adolescents in the USA. A myriad of factors have been correlated with risk for suicide ideation (SI)/suicide attempt (SA), including historical trauma; however, accurate measurement of historical trauma has been inconsistent.

objectiveTo examine the association of family history of a negative mandatory boarding school experience with SI and SAs.

methodsAn anonymous online survey was conducted with 288 Native youth aged 15-24 years from the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana. Multinomial regression was applied adjusting for other known risk and protective factors of SI and SAs.

resultsThirty-five percent reported past SAs and 15% reported ideation without prior attempt. Of the 129 (45%) reporting a family history of mandatory boarding school experiences, 28% perceived the experience as positive while 22% as negative. After adjusting for risk and protective factors, both SI and SAs were associated with a family history of negative mandatory boarding school experiences (adjusted OR (AOR)=4.8 and 4.3, respectively) and polydrug use (AOR=3.6 and 2.3). SAs were also associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (AOR=2.6) and depressive symptoms (AOR=3.6).

conclusionThe association between family history of negative mandatory boarding school experiences and SI and SAs implies that culturally responsive interventions are needed to reduce the intergenerational impacts of historical trauma.
