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

Introduction: Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) exhibit depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation at much higher rates than the general population (Burke et al., 2022), with suicide the leading cause of mortality among YEH (Auerswald et al., 2016), likely due to a confluence of stressors (Budescu et al., 2021). To better prevent suicide, understanding factors associated with suicidal risk, such as cognitive distortions and problem-solving, has been a focus of prior research (Wilson et al., 2011). However, little is known about the relationship between these factors and suicidal risk among YEH. Method: Using baseline data from a study with suicidal YEH ( Results: Higher cognitive distortions and poorer problem-solving were significantly associated with depressive symptomology. Additionally, negative problem orientation was a significant mediator of the pathway between cognitive distortions and depressive symptoms. However, we found no relationships among the variables to suicidal ideation. Likewise, sex-at-birth was not significant as a moderator. Conclusion: Findings suggest that negative problem orientation could be an important target for preventing depressive symptoms among YEH experiencing cognitive distortions, and future research is recommended to confirm this relationship.
