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

backgroundDespite the bidirectional relationship between alcohol use and STB, the two issues are often treated separately in adolescent inpatient psychiatric hospitals, highlighting the need for brief interventions that address both alcohol use and STB in an integrated fashion.

aimsThis study tested the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a brief integrated Alcohol and Suicide Intervention for Suicidal Teens (iASIST) with a post-discharge mHealth booster for adolescents in inpatient psychiatric treatment.

methodsWe conducted an RCT of iASIST relative to an attention-matched comparison condition with adolescents hospitalized following STB (N = 40).

resultsiASIST demonstrated feasibility and acceptability and mixed models indicated that both groups had significant decreases in substance use over the 3-month follow-up, but post-intervention group differences were not significant. In terms of cannabis use, however, iASIST participants significantly improved over time. Intervention group participants showed a significant decrease in suicide plans from baseline to follow-up, which was not the case for control group participants. DISCUSSION: Study findings suggest a larger RCT is warranted to test the effectiveness of the iASIST intervention.

conclusioniASIST shows promise in its ability to target the public health problems of alcohol use and STB in an integrated fashion with a high-risk adolescent population receiving acute psychiatric care.
