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: The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made concerted efforts to improve community collaboration, which can help address stressors that contribute to suicide risk in veterans. However, not all veterans have access to VA care, and some may require services outside the VA purview. One strategy to further connect veterans to services to reduce suicide risk is community asset mapping (CAM). CAM, also known as asset mapping or environmental scanning, involves identifying and gathering contact information about local community resources so that these resources can be shared and utilized. Observations: This article describes the CAM process to address risk factors and related social determinants of health that may contribute to suicide risk. VA suicide prevention CAM includes creating a list of points of contact for community referrals, such as veteran service organizations, vet centers, Community Veterans Engagement Boards, state suicide prevention coordinators, and community mental health organizations. CAM allows for the centralization of resources so veterans and referring practitioners can better access these resources and use them to mitigate the factors that put veterans at risk of suicide. Conclusions: Continued efforts to build and strengthen partnerships between VA and local communities are essential to prevent suicide among veterans who are served both within and outside of the VA system.
