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

objectivesThe interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide identifies three risk factors for suicidal behaviours: perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and acquired capability. We sought to clarify relationships between the interpersonal-psychological risk factors and two individual difference factors, emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) and intolerance of uncertainty (IU).

methodsIn the current study, we analysed self-report scales from a large community sample (N = 169) that was oversampled for individuals with elevated suicidality. We considered two separate factors of ERI: Pervasive Influence of Feelings, which measures how much a person's emotions shape their worldview, and Feelings Trigger Action, which measures impulsive behavioural reactivity to emotions. We tested unique effects of ERI and IU and the interactions of ERI × IU on the three interpersonal-psychological risk factors using linear regression models.

resultsPervasive Influence of Feelings correlated with higher perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, whereas Feelings Trigger Action correlated with higher perceived burdensomeness and acquired capability. Within the regression models, IU correlated significantly with lower acquired capability but not perceived burdensomeness or thwarted belongingness. Interactions of ERI × IU were not significant.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate the importance of considering both factors of ERI in understanding the risk for suicide. Our results also provide novel evidence that while IU may not impact risk factors such as perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, higher levels of IU may serve as some protection against individuals' acquired capability for suicidal action. Limitations and implications of findings are discussed.
