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

This manuscript details a three-study development and preliminary investigation of the Suicidal Desire Variability Scale (SDVS), a self-report retrospective measure of past-week suicidal desire fluctuation. Exploratory factor analyses of the initial 17-item measure performed in 216 (Study 1) undergraduate students experiencing recent suicidal ideation (SI) and confirmatory factor analyses performed in 371 (Study 2) adults with past-week SI demonstrated a two-factor solution of nine original items representing fluctuation in SI (SDVS Dynamic) and minimal change (SDVS Static). Subscales evinced small to moderate correlations with affect and emotional lability as well as no or small relationships with SI severity and its correlates (e.g., wish to live) in Study 2. Study 3 was an ecological momentary assessment investigation of 40 undergraduate students who completed the SDVS following a 10-day ambulatory phase. Retrospective SDVS subscale scores demonstrated moderate correlations with one measure of suicidal desire dynamics assessed across the ambulatory phase.
