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

objectiveIsolation in Fangcang shelter hospitals during Shanghai lockdown may exacerbate mental health problems or even suicide risk. This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of anxiety and depression in the relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation.

methodsParticipants were recruited via convenience sampling method. A total of 461 individuals completed the cross-sectional assessments, which was designed to measure demographic information, Insomnia, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.

resultsAll variables of interest were positive and significant associated with each other (all P < 0.01). Anxiety fully mediated role between insomnia and suicidal ideation, accounting for 62.65% of the total effect. Similarly, depression also acted as a fully mediator in this relationship, with a mediating effect of 77.11%.

conclusionInsomnia was associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation, with anxiety and depression serving as full mediators in this relationship. Targeted interventions addressing insomnia, anxiety, and depressive symptoms should be implemented to mitigate and potentially prevent suicidal ideation among isolated individuals.
