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.
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
Aim: The SAD PERSONS scale (SPS) assesses the risk of future suicide attempts; however, its utility in patients with severe physical injuries is unclear. This study explored the association between high SPS scores and subsequent psychiatric admission (SPA) among patients transported to a tertiary emergency center following suicide attempts. Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational study included patients transported to our tertiary emergency center between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023. Patients were enrolled based on their scores on the SPS: ≥5 points (High SPS group) or <5 points (Low SPS group). The primary outcome was SPA; the secondary outcomes were physical complications, length of stay in the emergency department, involuntary psychiatric admission, and re-suicide attempts in the general ward. Results: Of 199 patients, 58 (29.1%) were in the High SPS group and 141 (70.9%) in the Low SPS group, with 67 SPA and 61 involuntary admissions. The High SPS group had significantly higher SPA than the Low SPS group (67.2% vs. 19.9%, Conclusion: High SPS scores are associated with SPA. This finding helps emergency physicians predict psychiatric consultations and admission.
