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

Online psychotherapy for patients with suicidal behavior was considered inappropriate by the Brazilian Federal Psychology Council prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the need for physical distancing, this restriction was temporarily suspended. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of Brazilian clinical psychologists regarding online psychotherapy for patients with suicidal behavior in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to generate a theoretical understanding of this experience. It is a qualitative, exploratory, longitudinal study based on the Constructivist Grounded Theory framework. Ten clinical psychologists who conducted online psychotherapy for patients with suicidal behavior during the pandemic were interviewed at two moments, with an interval of approximately two years: the first round was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021, followed by a second round between November and December 2022. Data analysis led to four categories: (1) Reflecting on suicidal behavior; (2) Addressing specificities of online interventions; (3) Managing suicidal behavior in online psychotherapy; (4) Evaluating online psychotherapy for patients with suicidal behavior. The theoretical model "Pathways of care: main roads and access routes in online psychotherapy for suicidal behavior" was constructed. It was concluded that online psychotherapy for patients with suicidal behavior is complex and requires caution but is feasible and can be important in specific circumstances. This makes it an additional resource for suicide prevention and mental health promotion.
