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

Recently psychiatrically hospitalized Veterans are at elevated risk for suicide soon after discharge. Social connectedness is a robust protective factor against suicide; however, many Veterans have limited sources of social support and well-being. Promoting engagement in community activities may help increase social connectedness, but there is limited research on the barriers and facilitators experienced by mental health providers, community organizations, and Veterans' loved ones to support such efforts. The current study collected qualitative data via interviews with 29 participants from these three groups in different regions of the United States. Interviews focused on participants' experiences with organizational- and systems-level factors impacting current implementation of strategies for supporting Veteran engagement in community activities. Data were analyzed using templated summarization and matrix analysis. Participants generally valued community engagement for this high-risk population and identified barriers related to mental health challenges and lack of central coordination of activities. Mental health administrators and policy makers invested in increasing social connectedness among high-risk Veteran groups should consider leveraging existing community networks to address identified barriers to community engagement.
