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

Suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury are increasingly prevalent among youths. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in this population. Improving prevention requires accurate identification of suicide attempt risk in patients with NSSI. We conducted a retrospective observational study based on medical records of 232 inpatients (aged 9–17) with NSSI, admitted to the Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Unit at the University Hospital of Padua from 2015 to 2023, comparing individuals with and without a suicide attempt. Our findings highlight the importance of a multidimensional assessment (clinical history, medical comorbidities, social functioning) in evaluating suicide risk, and emphasize the role of family environment in the onset and severity of self-injury behaviors and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in highlighting family vulnerabilities.
