Evaluating the Longitudinal Efficacy of Suicide CARE (a Korean Standard Gatekeeper Training Program) in a General Community Sample: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveSuicide poses a significant public health concern with increasing prevalence in the general population, emphasizing the need for effective gatekeeper suicide prevention education. This study assesses the longitudinal effectiveness of the "Suicide CARE" gatekeeper training program within a general community sample. Suicide CARE is representative gatekeeper program in Korea. A total of 5 million individuals completed the training program of Suicide CARE in Korea to date.
methodsParticipants were recruited through the Korea Suicide Prevention Association website, randomly assigned to the experimental (n=49) or control group (n=53). Pre- and post-training surveys, along with a 3-month follow-up, measured perceived knowledge, gatekeeper efficacy, preparedness, and attitudes toward suicide. Longitudinal effects were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance.
resultsThe experimental group showed significant improvement in perceived knowledge, gatekeeper efficacy, perceived preparedness, and some aspects of attitude towards suicide compared to the control group, with effects declining over time but remaining statistically significant at the 3-month follow-up test.
conclusionThis study is the first to evaluate the longitudinal effectiveness of Suicide CARE in a community population. Strategic integration of evidence-based gatekeeper training programs like Suicide CARE can contribute to community suicide prevention initiatives.
