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

introductionThis project aims to comprehensively examine the incidence of suicidality, individual and population characteristics, and health pathways, for a cohort of Australian veterans using linked administrative data. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The cohort will comprise veterans who are clients of the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) residing in Queensland between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2022. People currently serving in the Australian Defence Force, Australian Federal Police personnel, other DVA clients who are not veterans (eg, eligible dependents), and clients currently known to DVA who have requested that their data not be disclosed for research will be excluded. This cohort will be linked to DVA administrative data, the Queensland Hospital Admitted Patients Data Collection (QHAPDC), Queensland Hospital Non-Admitted Patients Data Collection, Emergency Data Collection (EDC), Consumer Integrated Mental Health and Addiction Application (CIMHAA), Queensland Death Register, National Death Index, Medicare Benefits Schedule, Centrelink (Data Over Multiple Individual Occurrences) database and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. These data will be linked for a period of at least 1-year preindex and postindex contact with DVA, such that the entire study period is expected to encompass at least 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2023. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study received ethical approval from the Departments of Defence and Veterans' Affairs Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC; Project ID: 556-23), and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare HREC (Project ID: EO2024/1/1461). This project also received Public Health Act approval (File reference: PHA 556-23). The project was ratified by the University of Queensland HREC (Project ID: 2024/HE002153). The findings of this project will be disseminated via a publicly available report, presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
