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

backgroundThis study aimed to examine if individuals diagnosed with dissociative disorder (DD) are at a higher risk of suicidal acts compared to individuals without DD.

methodsWe conducted a matched cohort study by examining electronic health records of patients admitted to Hong Kong public hospitals between January 1, 1993, through December 31, 2022. The study included 716 patients with DD and a matched comparison cohort of 716 individuals. Participants were tracked until they either received a diagnosis of suicidal acts, died from other causes, or until the end of 2023, whichever happened first. Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to determine the risk of suicidal acts following DD onset.

resultsDuring the 30-year study period, 87 individuals (12.2%) in the DD cohort and 29 individuals (4.1%) in the comparison cohort exhibited suicidal acts, with the difference being statistically significant (χ

conclusionsDD is linked to a heightened risk of suicidal acts. Future research is required to replicate these findings and to more comprehensively identify the specific risk factors contributing to suicidal acts in this patient population.
