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

backgroundSafety or emergency plan interventions, i.e., the creation of a list of hierarchically organized strategies and persons/institutions that patients can use or contact in case of a suicidal escalation, are increasingly used in clinical practice.

methodThis narrative review describes the approach for establishing an emergency plan and discusses studies on the effectiveness of such interventions. In addition, ideas on the mode of action of corresponding interventions and application variants are discussed.

resultsDespite increasing dissemination of safety plans, empirical evidence of their effectiveness is currently inadequate. DISCUSSION: High-quality studies are urgently needed, particularly with respect to different clinical populations. At this point in time, it should be cautioned against understanding the creation of an emergency plan as a sufficient intervention in dealing with suicidal patients.
