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

To supplement the mental health programming offered to women veterans within the Veterans Health Administration, a retreat-based suicide prevention program could foster healing through social connection and holistic health. However, no study has investigated retreat-based suicide prevention program components relevant for violence-exposed women veterans. To address this gap, we conducted focus groups with women veterans and semi-structured interviews with interdisciplinary subject matter experts to examine perceptions, beliefs, concerns, and preferences related to a retreat-based suicide prevention program for women veterans. Emergent themes included interest and appeal, concerns about program execution, and program preferences. Findings suggest that both women veterans and experts agree that a retreat-based suicide prevention program for women veterans is a promising and welcomed prevention strategy that may reduce suicide risk. Both interest groups emphasized that programming should be trauma-informed with training for program facilitators and attention to group dynamics.
