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

backgroundIndividuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are at an elevated suicide risk compared with those in the general population. This public health issue warrants further research attention to help inform the development of prevention and intervention efforts. Our study is the first to characterize suicidality (i.e., suicidal ideation/suicide attempt) and explore associated risk factors in young individuals with FASD within the Australian context.

methodsRetrospective file reviews from a diagnostic clinic in Western Australia obtained data on demographic variables and risk factors, including psychosocial stressors (i.e., child protection and justice system involvement, history of abuse/neglect) and comorbid diagnoses (i.e., attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attachment disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, substance use disorder, and sleep disorder). Data on suicidality were collected via formal suicide risk assessments and source documentation.

resultsOne hundred and ninety-five participants diagnosed with FASD were included in the study (M

conclusionThese findings add to the growing body of evidence that highlights the vulnerability of individuals with FASD to suicidality compared with the general population, underscoring the need for targeted, culturally safe suicide intervention/prevention efforts.
