Examining the factor structure of the Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale (ACSS) in a military population: Initial development and validation of a four-factor version of the ACSS.
Article in Psychological services, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Suicide occurs at high rates in both military and veteran populations. The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide is a widely applied framework incorporating the requisite construct of acquired capability for suicide, which is the ability to engage in suicidal behaviors developed through painful and provocative life experiences. The Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale (ACSS) was developed to assess this construct. Despite substantial literature examining Interpersonal Theory of Suicide in military samples, many versions of ACSS have been used without adequate validation. The goal of this study was to examine the factor structure of the ACSS and derive a version of the ACSS with initial validity for use in military populations. We also examined the stability of acquired capability over time. Data were collected among Wisconsin Army National Guard service members, who were deployed to the Middle East from 2008 to 2010, at three assessment points: before deployment (
