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

backgroundSelf-disclosure of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) is integral for risk assessment and intervention. However, limited research elucidates the nuanced characteristics of first disclosure experiences for bisexual individuals, who are disproportionately impacted by suicide yet remain underrepresented in the literature. This study examined the features, motivations, and outcomes of an initial STB disclosure among heterosexual and bisexual individuals.

methodsSelf-report data from 259 adults (M

resultsCompared to heterosexuals, bisexual participants reported a higher prevalence of suicidal behavior disclosure, seeking formal disclosure recipients, and disclosing through online platforms. They were also more motivated to address physical safety concerns and obtain professional help and more frequently engaged in help-seeking behaviors post-disclosure. On average, both groups rated disclosure as helpful, with heterosexual individuals reporting it as more helpful. There was a significant main effect of help-seeking encouragement from recipients in predicting post-disclosure help-seeking engagement.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the necessity of considering the impact of sexual orientation differences in initial STB disclosure processes, which may set the benchmark for subsequent disclosure and help-seeking trajectories.
