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
backgroundUnderstanding the motives for suicide attempts is a necessary condition of suicide risk assessment in adolescents. However, there is a lack of measures in Russian that assess these motives, particularly, in adolescent populations. The Inventory of Motivations for Suicide Attempts (IMSA) measures a variety of theoretically grounded intrapersonal and interpersonal motives and can be used in adolescent samples.
aimTo validate the Russian version of the IMSA in a clinical sample of adolescents with suicidal behavior.
methodsThe Russian-language adaptation of the IMSA was conducted on a clinical sample of 522 inpatient adolescents 12-17 years old (M=14.51±1.52), including 425 girls and 97 boys. All the adolescents were hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital due to a suicide attempt, suicidal intentions, or a history of suicide attempts. To test the convergent and discriminative validity of the Russian version of the IMSA, the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure and Self-Concept Clarity Scale were used.
resultsConfirmatory factor analysis showed that the original 10-factor structure did not have a good fit. After modifications and removal of 12 items an 8-factor structure emerged, which had the following scales: Hopelessness, Psychache, Escape, Burdensomeness, Low belongingness, Fearlessness, Problem-solving, Interpersonal motivations. A generalizing Intrapersonal motivations scale was also defined. The fit measures for the final model were as follows: χ
conclusionThe IMSA displayed satisfactory psychometric properties in a Russian adolescent inpatient sample and can be used to differentiate between the motives for suicide attempts in adolescents.
