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
objectiveThe Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) is a well-established framework to assess suicide risk, yet few studies have applied the framework to examine relevance and applicability to suicide phenomenology in Black American men. We address this gap by qualitatively exploring the suitability of the IPTS framework using a psychiatric sample of Black men.
methodWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 Black adult men (Mean age = 32.1, min:18, max: 79) with a history of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). We conducted thematic analysis using an inductive and deductive coding approach using Dedoose v. 8.
resultsOverall, IPTS constructs were represented in participant narratives. Thwarted belongingness emerged as the most prominent construct of the theory, followed by hopelessness, and suicide capability. Participants noted the role of racism in their STB from multiple levels, including internalized, interpersonal, and structural racism.
conclusionsBlack men reported aspects of the Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS), notably experiences of social isolation, which were often attributed to racism. Our findings highlight the relative importance of certain IPTS constructs among Black men, namely the significance of thwarted belongingness and its relationship with social marginalization. Our findings identify future areas of expansion for the IPTS framework to capture broader sociocultural dynamics in racialized populations.
