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

backgroundAlthough suicide literacy affects help-seeking for suicidal behavior, little is known about its status in The Gambia. We aimed to synthesise the existing evidence on suicide literacy in the country.

methodsWe adopted a narrative review approach and made a comprehensive search with various search to identify relevant articles on suicide and suicide literacy in The Gambia. We included all the available article till the search date and synthesized to identify recurring themes, trends, and knowledge gaps.

resultsDespite the thorough search, literature specifically focused on suicide literacy in The Gambia was found to be scarce. There were no published surveys of suicide-specific knowledge and attitudes towards suicide in the country. Accessing help for suicidal behavior has been severely hindered by the limited services, cost, and access to treatments, cultural expectations, stigma, and legal factors.

conclusionSuicide literacy in The Gambia is under-researched. There is a pressing need for research to understand the burden of suicide its risk factors and its association with suicide literacy to formulate suicide prevention strategies in the country.
