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

Background and aim: Suicide is a global public health issue disproportionately impacting equity-deserving groups. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence and increased access to a variety of digital data sources have enabled the development of novel and personalized suicide prevention strategies. However, standards on how to harness these data in a comprehensive and equitable way remain unclear. The primary aim of this study is to identify considerations for the collection and use of digital health data for suicide prevention and care. The results will inform the development of a data governance framework for a multinational suicide prevention mHealth platform. Method: We used a modified Cochrane Rapid Reviews Method. Inclusion criteria focused on primary studies published in English from 2007 to the present that referenced the use of digital health data in the context of suicide prevention and care. Screening and data extraction was performed independently by multiple reviewers, with disagreements resolved through discussion. Qualitative and quantitative synthesis methods were employed to identify emergent themes. Results: Our search identified 2453 potential articles, with 70 meeting inclusion criteria. We found little consensus on best practices for the collection and use of digital health data for suicide prevention and care. Issues of data quality, fairness and equity persist, compounded by inadequate consideration of key governance issues including privacy and trust, especially in multinational initiatives. Conclusions: Recommendations for future research and practice include prioritizing engagement with knowledge users, establishing robust data governance frameworks aligned with clinical guidelines, and leveraging advanced analytics, such as natural language processing, to improve the quality of health equity data.
