Impact of State Gatekeeper Training Laws on Suicide Prevention Training for School Staff.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of gatekeeper training laws (GTLs) on the prevalence of suicide prevention training (SPT) among school staff.
methodsThis study used representative state-level data on the prevalence of SPT at schools from 2010 to 2022 School Health Profiles biennial reports and state-level legal data on GTLs from previous research. A difference-in-difference analysis was conducted to compare temporal changes in the state prevalence of SPT among lead health education teachers between states with GTL mandates and states without GTL mandates.
resultsGTL mandates led to a 13.7 [95% confidence interval: 7.7, 19.8] percentage point increase in the percent of public secondary schools in which the lead health education teacher received SPT relative to states without a GTL mandate. Event study results suggest that the mandates had a sustained impact on the prevalence of SPTs across all postmandate periods. DISCUSSION: GTL mandates led to an increase in the uptake of SPT among school staff, suggesting these mandates may be an effective approach to increase the prevalence of school staff trained in suicide prevention.
