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

purposeSuicide is one of the top ten leading causes of death for the general population and for members of the United States military. Despite substantial resources invested in preventing suicide in both civilian and governmental agencies, identifying effective approaches remains a challenge.

methodsConsistent with the continued need to identify effective strategies, a military stakeholder requested a rapid review of suicide prevention programs which incorporated trained, non-provider personnel (e.g., case managers, care navigators). We found a lack of comprehensive reviews on this topic and developed an evidence map to characterize the current state of the research on case management programs for suicide prevention. The elements for this evidence map included characteristics and components of the relevant programs, role of the case manager, outcomes measured, and any indications of effectiveness.

resultsWe included four systematic reviews and 30 articles representing 27 studies in this review. Case management as a service was applied differently across settings and populations and the results on suicide-related outcomes were mixed. Models or approaches with multiple studies showing some evidence of effectiveness included intensive case management (ICM) and multilevel, population-based programs. Other programs showed some evidence of effectiveness but were represented by just one study.

conclusionsTo help advance our understanding of the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs that incorporate case management, future studies should provide comprehensive descriptions of case management, including clear definitions of the service and descriptions of the role (e.g., educational background, specific tasks performed, duration, and type of patient involvement).
