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

Suicide is a major global public health concern and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Previous suicide attempts are one of the strongest predictors of future suicide risk, underscoring the need for effective prevention strategies. Central to these strategies is the establishment of robust surveillance systems that deliver accurate and timely data at both national and local levels. This article describes the development, implementation, and progress of Uruguay's national real-time surveillance system for suicide attempts, which comprehensively covers all emergency departments across the country. The Ministry of Public Health conducts continuous monitoring of suicide attempt cases using a real-time surveillance system. This article also explores the implications of this system for suicide prevention at various levels and discusses future challenges and opportunities for optimizing its use to enhance public health interventions.
