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

Background and Aims: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has received global academic attention in recent decades. However, little is known about NSSI behavior in Bangladesh. We aimed to overview NSSI in Bangladesh based on available evidence. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Google, and BanglaJOL were searched to identify the research articles published on NSSI in Bangladesh with search terms. Research studies assessing NSSI among Bangladeshi citizens living in Bangladesh, and studies published in English language were included. Results: Ten studies (cross-sectional 9, case-control 1) were included in this review published between 1984 and 2024 with sample sizes between 51 and 383. The majority of the studies ( Conclusion: This review identified the spectrum of research conducted on NSSI highlighting the rate, methods, and associated factors in Bangladesh. It indicates a dearth of studies on NSSI among community populations assessing its burden and risk factors in Bangladesh.
