Low-threshold secondary and tertiary suicide prevention measures for individuals with suicid-related thoughts and behaviors: a scoping review.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: Suicide rates remain persistently high in many regions worldwide, including Germany. The 2024 German National Suicide Prevention Strategy emphasizes the strengthening of evidence-based approaches. In this context, a comprehensive synthesis of low-threshold secondary and tertiary suicide prevention measures for adults is required. Methods: This scoping review set out to address this need and followed established methodological guidance and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines. PubMed and Web of Science were searched on September 1, 2025, for studies published from January 1, 2005, onwards. To be eligible for inclusion, studies needed to examine low-threshold secondary or tertiary suicide prevention measures targeting adults with suicide-related thoughts and behaviors (STBs). Interventions focusing on primary medical care, psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, gatekeepers and means restriction were excluded. Results: Out of 1,897 records, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies investigated voice-based ( Discussion: The findings suggest that voice- and text-based crisis interventions are supported by a growing evidence base, primarily demonstrating short-term effects. Web-based educational (and counseling) measures and outreach messages, while heterogeneous, show potential for individuals with STBs through the use of emerging technologies. Future research should examine mechanisms of action, long-term outcomes, and employ randomized controlled trial designs (where feasible) to strengthen the evidence base.
