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

Background: Suicide attempts are common in bipolar affective disorder (BPAD), but the contribution of enduring psychological traits to suicidal behavior during remission remains unclear. Aim: To compare impulsivity, aggression, emotional dysregulation, and hopelessness between remitted BPAD patients with and without a lifetime history of suicide attempts, and to identify independently associated factors of suicidal behavior. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 150 remitted BPAD patients recruited from a tertiary-care psychiatry center in India. Participants were divided into suicide-attempt (n = 72) and non-attempt (n = 78) groups. The sample included 86 females and 64 males. Trait variables were assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Beck Hopelessness Scale. Results: Patients with a lifetime history of suicide attempts had significantly higher impulsivity, aggression, and emotional dysregulation scores compared to non-attempters (all Conclusion: Impulsivity and emotional dysregulation appear to represent important trait-related vulnerabilities associated with suicide attempts in patients with remitted BPAD. Incorporating assessment of these dimensions into routine clinical evaluation may improve long-term suicide prevention strategies in bipolar disorder.
