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

introductionAssessing suicide risk in clinical settings is challenging, as conventional self-report scales have limited predictive validity. The Death Implicit Association Test (D-IAT) was developed to explore implicit associations related to death and the self-concept. However, it omits the emotional association with death that may be crucial in suicide risk assessment. This cross-sectional study on individuals with current suicidal ideation integrates the implicit emotional association with death into the conventional D-IAT.

methodsWe aimed to explore whether patients with current suicidal ideation exhibit more positive implicit emotional associations with death compared to a clinical control group without current suicidal ideation and lifetime suicidal behavior (total N = 182). We employed the standard identity D-IAT (D-IAT

resultsIn the D-IAT DISCUSSION: Our findings substantiate the validity and reliability of the identity D-IAT and suggest the D-IAT
