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

backgroundParents and carers often provide support for their child following a suicide attempt. Yet many parents struggle to obtain support for themselves during this stressful period which can result in feelings of powerlessness and being unheard. PURPOSE: The aim of the current study was to explore the experiences of parents and carers whose child was receiving intensive outreach support following a suicide attempt. METHODOLOGY: The study used semi-structured interviews with parents and carers. Interviews were conducted via telephone ranging from 14 to 56 min (M = 29 min). An inductive thematic analysis was undertaken to explore the data. Seven parents and carers participated in one-on-one interviews.

resultsIt was found that the outreach support provided was vastly different from prior experiences and this was a pleasant surprise. In addition, parents described the high level of emotional support for both the child and themselves. A highlight of the support was the family peer worker whom they could relate to. Parents acknowledged that contact with the team provided insights on how to change their parenting or relationship practices.

conclusionDirect and dedicated parent support is a key aspect that services should consider when implementing a child and youth service to address suicidality, since this enables the family to readjust following a traumatic event.
