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

Engagement in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) can be predicted by affective dynamics (e.g., variability, inertia, and intensity). However, little is known about affective dynamics in relation to NSSI urges that are not acted upon, a phenomenon worth further study given its high rate of occurrence. Such a phenomenon should be studied in real-time through ecological momentary assessment (EMA), given the varying durations and frequency of NSSI urges. The current study examined affective dynamics in relation to EMA-reported NSSI urges and compared affective dynamics among participants with only EMA-reported NSSI urges to those with both EMA-reported NSSI urges and any EMA-reported NSSI behaviors. The sample included 93 young adults (ages 18-34) with past-month NSSI urges or behaviors. Dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) was used to analyze between-person affective dynamics. Results showed that greater NSSI urges were associated with greater negative affect variability and intensity, and lower positive affect intensity. Further, individuals who engaged in any NSSI behavior had significantly higher negative affect variability and intensity than those who only reported NSSI urges (but not behaviors) during EMA, even when controlling for past month NSSI behaviors at baseline. This study has important implications for risk identification and later treatment of NSSI urges.
