Harnessing technology for hope: a systematic review of digital suicide prevention tools.
Review in Discover mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
This systematic review scrutinizes digital interventions in suicide prevention, telehealth, mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital psychotherapy. Apps with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and crisis help worked well, but there were worries about keeping users engaged and data safe. AI tools were good at spotting suicide risk (72-93% accurate) by looking at social media and health data, but there are still ethical issues to solve. Safety planning and self-tracking on phones helped manage crises better. Using tablets in emergency rooms showed promise to boost coping skills. Online CBT and mindfulness training reduced increased distress. These digital tools have benefits, but there are still concerns about rules proving they work and keeping patients involved. The findings show that mixing digital tools with regular care can improve suicide prevention. However, we need more research to ensure they are used well in the long term.
