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

Background: Despite interest in psychological inflexibility as a marker of suicide risk, no measure of psychological inflexibility specific to SI exists. Methods: The present study utilized data from two internet- and one lab-based sample to establish and evaluate such a measure, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Suicidal Ideation (AAQ-SI). Reliability analysis of seven initial items identified four items in Sample 1 that measured this construct. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a one-factor solution fit these data in Samples 1 and 2. AAQ-SI scores demonstrated convergent validity (i.e., bivariate correlations) in all samples with another measure of general psychological inflexibility and measures of SI intrusiveness, avoidance, and comfort. AAQ-SI scores demonstrated a statistically significantly weaker correlation with depression symptoms compared to a measure of general psychological inflexibility in Sample 2. AAQ-SI scores were uniquely statistically significantly associated with SI severity in separate regression models within each sample, while an existing measure of general psychological inflexibility was not. Conclusions: The AAQ-SI appears to be an appropriate measure of psychological inflexibility specific to the experience of suicidal thoughts. Clinicians and researchers interested in this construct among suicidal individuals may opt for the AAQ-SI over other alternatives.
