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

Suicide is a substantial contributor to global mortality, with suicidal ideation (SI) a significant predictor of suicide. Research has demonstrated relationships between dispositional coping styles and SI. This study aimed to advance this research by examining the specific coping strategies people use when experiencing SI. Further, it assessed predicted use of coping strategies of people with a history of SI would differ from the actual coping strategies employed by people have experienced SI. Seventy-seven help-seeking adults (Mage = 31.6, SD = 10.4) with (n = 49) or without (n = 28) history of SI completed the Brief Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE) adapted to SI-related coping and current emotional distress measured by the 21-item version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). An ANCOVA, while controlling for current emotional distress levels, showed a greater predicted Problem-Focused coping use than actual use reported by participants with SI history. Facet-level ANCOVAs attributed this to differences in Active Coping, Use of Informational Support, and Planning strategies. There were no group differences in emotion-focused or avoidant coping. The preliminary findings suggest individuals without a history of SI may prognosticate more frequent use adaptive coping strategies, relative to how frequently people actually employ them during these times. Future research may examine the factors explaining these differences to help inform programs related to SI and coping.
