Treatment Adherence and Recurrence of Suicidal Behaviour in a Cohort of Suicide Attempters in a Nurse-Led Suicide Prevention Programme.

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
introductionIndividuals who attempt suicide are at high risk of recurrence and mortality, particularly in the first year. Nurse-led follow-up programmes can mitigate this risk through structured, therapeutic engagement.
aimTo examine adherence to a nurse-led mental health follow-up programme and its association with the recurrence of suicidal behaviours.
methodThis cohort study included 306 adults who had attempted suicide, who were enrolled in a one-year suicidal behaviour case management programme (SBCMP) led by mental health nurses. Outcomes for programme completers were compared with non-completers. Adherence was assessed at 12 months, while suicide attempts and mortality were tracked over 24 months.
resultsAll five scheduled SBCMP visits were completed by 48% of patients. Programme adherence was associated with significantly lower rates of psychiatric hospitalisation (4.8% vs. 11.3%; p = 0.036) and of repeated suicide attempts at 6 months (3.4% vs. 10.1%; p = 0.02) and 12 months (8.2% vs. 15.9%; p = 0.039). No suicides occurred in the first year; however, a suicide (1%) was recorded in the second year. DISCUSSION: This study highlights the role of structured follow-up programmes led by mental health nurses in improving treatment adherence and reducing suicidal behaviour. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Integrating suicide prevention interventions in clinical practice is a cost-effective strategy to support high-risk individuals and improve outcomes.
