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

The responsible reporting of suicide in media is crucial for public health, as irresponsible coverage can potentially promote suicidal behaviors. This study examined the capability of generative artificial intelligence, specifically large language models, to evaluate news articles on suicide according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, potentially offering a scalable solution to this critical issue. The research compared assessments of 40 suicide-related articles by two human reviewers and two large language models (ChatGPT-4 and Claude Opus). Results showed strong agreement between ChatGPT-4 and human reviewers (ICC = 0.81-0.87), with no significant differences in overall evaluations. Claude Opus demonstrated good agreement with human reviewers (ICC = 0.73-0.78) but tended to estimate lower compliance. These findings suggest large language models' potential in promoting responsible suicide reporting, with significant implications for public health. The technology could provide immediate feedback to journalists, encouraging adherence to best practices and potentially transforming public narratives around suicide.
