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

objectiveTo describe and compare contacts regarding self-injurious thoughts and behaviours to other contacts to emergency primary care.

designObservational study.

settingA sentinel network of seven emergency primary care centres throughout Norway. SUBJECTS: Initial contacts regarding patients 10 years and older during 12 consecutive months (11/2021-10/2022).

main outcome measuresContacts due to self-injurious thoughts and behaviours.

resultsSelf-injurious thoughts and behaviours were the reason for contact for 0.6% (

conclusionSelf-injurious thoughts and behaviours are rare reasons for contact to emergency primary care but are assessed as more urgent than other contact reasons and trigger more extensive medical help. Many of the patients are known to the service through a history of similar contacts. IMPLICATIONS: The infrequency and severity of these encounters might necessitate training, decision support and procedures to compensate for the health care personnel's limited exposure.
