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

We examined whether child welfare-involved children aged 7-11 with suicidal ideation (SI) experience worse adolescent behavioral health compared to peers without SI. Using longitudinal data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Wellbeing I and II (N = 1,641), propensity score weighting balanced baseline characteristics. We compared groups on adolescent outcomes (ages 12-15) from youth and caregiver reports. Children with SI at ages 7-11 had twice the odds of adolescent SI and four times the odds of self-reported self-injury, though caregiver reports did not confirm the latter. No significant differences emerged for other behavioral health outcomes. Thus, child welfare-involved youth showing SI early face elevated risk for persistent SI and self-injury, even after controlling for maltreatment and prior symptoms. These findings highlight the need for early identification and monitoring of SI, and for further research on underlying mechanisms, informant discrepancies, and replication.
