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: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have the highest suicide rate in the United States. Research on effective, culturally-centered, multi-level approaches to prevent suicide in AI/AN populations are limited. Methods: This multi-site longitudinal evaluation employed a retrospective pre-posttest design, utilizing a self-report survey administered daily following the training. Daily surveys included four areas related to suicide prevention, holistic wellness, generational knowledge, behavior change, and legacy impacts. The first objective of this study was to explore how the Good Road of Life training impacted participant knowledge regarding suicide and related risk factors while also exploring protective behaviors and impacts from a culturally-centered, strengths-based lens. A second objective was to present a conceptual model grounded in socioecological and trans-ecological theories of GRL for collective healing targeting the individual, family, community, Tribe, and nation to prevent suicide. Results: Between 2019 and 2024, 27 GRL trainings were conducted at 8 Tribal sites in Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Data accumulated across these 27 trainings and 1,810 students represented diverse tribes, locations, and ages. Students were asked to rate different domains of Holistic Wellness: mental ( Discussion: Findings from this evaluation underscore the importance of early intervention, culturally-centered approaches, and community-led suicide prevention in AI/AN populations.
