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

purposeThe perspectives of individuals with lived experience are essential to understanding how care practices support or hinder person-centred suicide prevention. This study explores experiences of individuals who sought healthcare in Sweden during suicidal crises.

methodsIn-depth interviews with 28 individuals with current or past suicidal behaviour were analysed using a phenomenological hermeneutical approach.

resultsSix themes emerged: (1) Hoping for the best, while preparing for the worst, (2) The risks of help-seeking, (3) In need of a safe space, (4) Support from professionals, (5) "Now it's your turn", and (6) A shared journey. Findings indicate that individuals with suicidal behaviour view themselves as motivated and capable partners in shaping the care process and believe that co-creating care can help delay or lessen exacerbations. Participants who co-created their care felt better prepared for self-care during early escalation and more confident that, if their condition worsened, they and their healthcare team could address a shared challenge.

conclusionAccording to participants, key elements of person-centred care include early engagement, long-term goals, and planning for crises. During intense suicidality, they emphasised the need for supportive environments and relationships-over mere security. Mutual trust between patient and healthcare team was seen as essential.
