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

Objective: Although not all trauma-exposed individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms or NSSI, it has been suggested that those who use NSSI as a means of coping with PTSD symptoms increase their acquired capability for suicide. This study sought to test the relationship between PTSD symptom clusters, functions of NSSI, and suicide capability (i.e., fearlessness about death [FAD]) in a trauma-exposed sample of individuals with a history of self-injury. Method: Self-report data were collected from undergraduates ( Results: Global PTSD symptoms exhibited a statistically significant positive relationship with intrapersonal (e.g., emotion regulation) and interpersonal (e.g., social) functions of NSSI. However, only intrapersonal functions were statistically significantly related to FAD. Although PTSD symptoms did not demonstrate a direct relationship with FAD, there was an indirect effect of PTSD symptoms on FAD through intrapersonal functions of NSSI. Conclusions: Engaging in NSSI for the purpose of managing PTSD symptoms may contribute to FAD beyond the presence of PTSD symptoms or NSSI. Clinical interventions that promote adaptive emotional regulation strategies may help to thwart increases in FAD for trauma-exposed samples.
