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: Pesticide self-poisoning is a major global public health issue, yet the post-discharge mental health of survivors remains poorly characterized. To investigate the physical and mental health among survivors of diquat self-poisoning after returning to the community, which informs the effective prevention and intervention measures of repeated suicide. Methods: A follow-up study of 25 patients with acute diquat self-poisoning was enrolled from Guangzhou twelfth people's hospital during 2017 to 2023. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was evaluated using the MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36), and anxiety and depression were, respectively, assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and ‌Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scales. Results: Twenty-five (25) diquat self-poisoning patients were enrolled in a follow-up study, with a median follow-up of 1.58 person-years. Most participants had low scores in mental health of the HRQoL survey, with a median score was 108.15. In SF-36 domains, only Role Physical (RP) scored significantly lower in the high-dose group ( Conclusion: Diquat self-poisoning survivors may experience persistent physical and psychological health difficulties after returning to the community, warranting further attention. The findings highlighted that prevention of repeated self-harm is still necessary among at-risk populations after returning to the community, particularly adolescents and young adults.
