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

introductionSuicide is a leading cause of death worldwide. Following a suicide attempt, many patients receive suicide follow-up interventions (SFI) from outpatient mental health care services, where outpatient mental health nurses play a crucial role. There is an urgent need to raise awareness of improvements and opportunities for development in this aspect of care to gain insights into potential areas for improvement and opportunities for development.

aimTo investigate outpatient mental health nurses' experiences of SFI.

methodA qualitative interview study was conducted with 10 outpatient mental health nurses. Conventional content analysis was used to analyse the data.

resultsThree categories emerged: connecting with and understanding suicidal patients, being dependent on adequate conditions for SFI, and feeling competent but vulnerable in SFI. DISCUSSION: Providing structured training for nurses to address patients with particularly challenging conditions is vital, as SFI entails complex and challenging situations. Training that incorporates proven methods from other interventions, involving the expertise of those with lived experience, employers, and academics, can offer significant advantages. Promoting increased collaboration can enhance the safety of assessments. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Team-based SFI can enhance suicide follow-up intervention services in psychiatric outpatient care.
