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.

Abstract

backgroundPatient navigation (PN), paired with the safety planning intervention (SPI), may allay mechanisms that theoretically underlie suicide among sexual and gender minorities (SGM). This paper describes (a) the iterative development of a theory-informed PN + SPI intervention (QueerCare) to prevent suicide among at-risk SGM youth and young adults and (b) a case series examining the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures, measures, and QueerCare.

methodsSeven initial QueerCare modules and a glossary of terms were drafted. Seven participants completed the case series. Feasibility and acceptability over 3 months were examined by triangulating multi-method data.

resultsThe study procedures and measures in the at-risk population were feasible and sensitive, provided that remote safety monitoring and parental consent waivers were in place. QueerCare was feasible, helpful, and appropriate based on satisfaction ratings and four emerging themes: matched identity care, internalized barriers, support, and flexibility valued. Two additional modules and guardian materials were created. Suicidal crisis management protocols were continuously refined.

conclusionQueerCare was developed as a highly flexible modular intervention to meet the needs of SGM youth and young adults and prevent repeat suicide attempts in this population. Findings indicate study procedures, measures, and QueerCare were feasible and acceptable based on triangulated data.

trial registrationThis study was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04757649.
