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
Background and Aims: Suicide and suicide attempts are critical indicators of psychological well-being within societies, influenced by various factors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy represents a prominent intervention for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and despair, offering potential alleviation of depressive symptoms. Consequently, this study aimed to assess the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy on suicidal ideation and despair among individuals with a history of suicide attempts. Methods: This single-blind experimental study was conducted in 2022 in Iran. In this study, a total of 60 individuals with a history of recent suicide attempts who were discharged from teaching hospitals affiliated with Urmia University of Medical Sciences were selected using convenience sampling and assigned to two intervention (30 people) and control (30 people) groups. Data were collected at three time points before, 1 month after, and 3 months after the intervention using a demographic questionnaire, Beck Suicidality Scale (BSSI), and Beck Hopelessness Questionnaire (BHS). The intervention group received eight sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Results: Analysis of variance revealed a significant distinction in mean scores of suicidal ideation and despair between the intervention and control groups ( Conclusion: The study demonstrated the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy within the intervention group, resulting in notable improvements in suicidal ideation and despair symptoms. Consequently, cognitive-behavioral therapy, through mechanisms such as acceptance, mindfulness, present-focused awareness, non-judgmental observation, and avoidance of cognitive distortions, holds promise in reducing suicidal ideation and despair among individuals with a history of suicide attempts.
