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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundWe continue to have limited success in identifying Veterans at high risk of suicide, due in part to reticence of disclosing suicidal ideation.

aimsThis study used a simulated groups experimental design to evaluate the MMPI-3's ability to assess suicide risk underreporting in Veterans with past-month death/suicide ideation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-nine Veterans (53.85% men) were randomized to standard and simulated underreporting groups and provided valid data on the MMPI-3 and collateral measures. We examined (1) whether simulated underreporting on the MMPI-3 (indexed by L and K scale scores) impacts SUI scale scores, (2) if these effects generalize to underreporting on extratest suicide and non-suicide measures, and (3) if MMPI-3 L and K scales incrementally predict and differentiate between Veterans with recent death/suicide ideation who were instructed to answer honestly and those instructed to underreport.

resultsGroups scored significantly differently on K (g = 0.99: M DISCUSSION: The limitations and clinical implications of these findinga are discussed.

conclusionMMPI-3 K, but not L, scale scores most reliably capture defensive reporting of suicidal ideation and intent and psychopatholpgy, more boradly. However a signifcant amount of underreporrting of suicidal ideation and intent may go undetected.
