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

Purpose of Review: To summarize literature on digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) for self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) among adolescents and young adults. This includes studies evaluating DMHI efficacy in reducing SITBs, exploring the quality of these interventions, and describing the features, functionality, and psychological strategies of these interventions. Recent Findings: Evidence for the efficacy of DMHIs for SITBs is limited but growing. The strongest support is for DMHIs with a cognitive-behavioral approach, those that target suicidality specifically, and those that target adults rather than adolescents. DMHIs vary in format and level of human support. Human support is commonly in the form of a clinician-peer support is infrequent. DMHIs facilitate safety planning, connect users with crisis support, teach users coping strategies, or encourage self-assessment. CBT-based approaches are the most frequent, but others include mindfulness and problem solving. While no DMHI for SITBs incorporate all evidence-based strategies for suicide prevention, many include several, with the most common being elements of safety planning. Summary: DMHIs have promise to address high rates of SITBs among young people. We summarize the existing literature and offer suggestions for future research to improve trial methodology, optimize design of DMHIs, and translate DMHIs into practice.
