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

objectiveMost self-report measures of suicidal ideation (SI) index thoughts or behaviors but broadly fail to contextualize the degree to which SI is perceived to impair quality of life. Theories of suicide propose that psychological inflexibility (i.e., metacognitive distress) about SI may compound suicidal cognitions and impact suicide risk. This study tested whether suicidal cognitions and psychological inflexibility about SI interact to amplify SI severity.

methodsSelf-report measures of suicidal cognitions, psychological inflexibility, and SI severity were collected from U.S. military veterans (

resultsThere was a significant interaction between suicidal cognitions and psychological inflexibility about SI, such that the statistically significant relationship between suicidal cognitions and SI severity increased at each level (-1 SD, mean, and +1 SD) of psychological inflexibility about SI.

conclusionsPsychological inflexibility about SI may amplify SI severity, which has theoretical implications for ideation-to-action frameworks of suicide. In addition to treating underlying suicidal cognitions, patients may benefit from addressing concerns about the meaning and impact of SI itself.
