Gender Comparison of Veterans Crisis Line Risk Ratings and Consequent Suicidal Self-Directed Violence Outcomes During the COVID Era.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 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
introductionImproving gender-sensitive suicide prevention programming for women veterans is crucial. Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) is a preventive strategy used by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Public health measures implemented during COVID-19 pandemic may have affected the nature of VCL calls.
objectivesTo assess the gender differences in the VCL contacts made in year 2020 and subsequent suicidal self-directed violence (SSDV) outcomes in the 12 months follow-up.
methodsCohort study. OUTCOMES: Composite measure of SSDV (dichotomized as nonfatal suicide event and/or suicide) in the 12 months following VCL call.
resultsCompared to veterans with low-risk assessment, those with high/moderate risk had significantly higher odds of SSDV in the follow-up year (OR = 4.12, 95% CI: 3.82, 4.45). We assessed the association of gender, combination of VCL risk, and suicide attempt (SA) history, on SSDV. The VCL risk and SA history combinations were independently associated with SSDV. However, there was no differential association on SSDV for different gender/VCL risk and SA history combinations (p = 0.6247). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Our 2020 VCL data outcomes are largely consistent with those from our prior work examining 2018 VCL contacts. Overall, VCL risk assessment was relatively stable across the gender binary during COVID pandemic.
