Effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention for people with suicidal behavior in the prison environment. N'VIU project: a randomized control trial.
Article in Health & justice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05195554 (Effectiveness of a Psycho-educational Intervention for People With Suicidal Conduct in the Prison Environment. N'VIU Project), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundSuicide rates are higher in prison environments than those in the general population. Therefore, preventive activities are crucial. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational group intervention in decreasing the number of suicidal behaviors in prisons.
methodsWe conducted a randomized controlled trial in nine prisons in Catalonia. Main outcome: total number of suicidal behaviors. Other variables: suicidal ideations, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and quality of life. The intervention group carried out 17 psychoeducation sessions and the control group received information.
results171 individuals participated in the study, mean age of 34.9 years, 84.8% males. The intervention group (n = 85) reduced anxiety and depression and increased quality of life post-intervention (p < 0.05), with no changes in the control group (n = 86). Both groups reduced all suicide items except for the number of interrupted/aborted attempts and the percentage of people with non-suicidal self-injurious behavior, which improved only in the intervention group. In both groups, the absolute number of suicide attempts decreased (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe psychoeducational intervention had an impact on suicidal ideation observed in both groups, with a non-significant reduction in the number of suicide attempts. Furthermore, the intervention improved levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
