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

Suicide remains a critical concern within the United States, particularly among U.S. veterans. Anger is a known correlate of suicidal ideation (SI) but little is understood about their moment-to-moment relationship. This short communication uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data collected over a 28-day period to investigate the temporal association between anger and SI in 40 veterans diagnosed with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) disorder. Using a multilevel cross-lagged design, we found that angry/hostile affect predicted subsequent SI; however, SI did not predict subsequent angry/hostile affect. These findings highlight anger as a potential trigger for suicidal thoughts and underscore the importance of addressing anger-related problems, especially among individuals at increased risk of suicide.
