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

Suicidality frequently leads to emergency department (ED) visits, yet few interventions are offered in EDs to mitigate suicide risk. This study uses a descriptive interpretative design to evaluate the key components for a successful use of such an intervention, the Stanley-Brown safety plan, in EDs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients and ED clinicians and were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Participants' perspectives revealed 6 key recommendations for a successful use of the safety plan in EDs: (1) personalize the content of the safety plan, (2) offer a variety of formats, (3) avoid periods of high emotional intensity, (4) engage a broad range of professionals in safety planning, (5) use limited time to make meaningful interventions, (6) propose alternative interventions. A change in the ED culture is needed to ensure that the management of suicidal patients in EDs includes brief therapeutic interventions like safety planning, to mitigate suicide risk.
