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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the role of suicide literacy, suicide stigma, perceived social support, and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help (ATSPPH) in predicting general help-seeking intention among individuals who have attempted suicide by structural equation modeling.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 462 people who were referred to the hospital due to suicide attempt in one of the cities of eastern Iran in 2023. The sampling method in this study was consecutive sampling. The Pearson correlation, One-way ANOVA, and Independent-samples t-test were used to analyze data by SPSS software. Also, AMOS software was used for conducting structural equation modeling and checking the standardized direct effects and standardized indirect effects between variables.
resultsOnly 0.9% (n = 4) of participants answered correctly more than 17 questions regarding suicide literacy. The structural equation modeling (SEM) results showed that suicide literacy, suicide stigma, perceived social support, and ATSPPH predicted 51% variance in the general help-seeking intention (R
conclusionThe SEM results highlight the importance of paying more attention to suicide literacy, reducing suicide stigma, promoting social support, improving the positive attitude toward mental health services, encouraging people who have attempted suicide to seek psychological help, and finally preventing suicide attempt.
