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

backgroundHoarding disorder (HD) is characterized by difficulty discarding possessions and clutter that impairs daily functioning. Previous research has demonstrated a high correlation between hoarding behaviors and suicidal thoughts and behaviors; however, there is limited research on suicidal thoughts and behaviors in individuals meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for HD. Our aim in this study was to report our findings about suicidal thoughts and behaviors in a HD sample.

methodsWe used existing data from participants meeting DSM-5 criteria for HD (n = 99). Data about suicidal thoughts and behaviors was collected using a structured instrument, the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).

resultsAmong the 99 participants, 49.5 % and 26.3 % had passive and active suicidal ideation (SI), respectively. Of those with active ideation, 11 participants endorsed thinking about overdose during their most severe SI. 13 participants reported attempting suicide at least once in their lifetime.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study examining suicidal thoughts and behaviors in HD using the structured assessment C-SSRS. In this HD data set, participants reported suicidal thoughts and behaviors at higher rates than the general U.S. POPULATION: Our study highlights the importance of screening for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in individuals with HD.
