Developing and pilot testing a suicide prevention "badge buddy" to improve suicide prevention practices.
Article in Psychological services, 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
Providers without specialty training in suicide prevention are increasingly asked to screen and assess patients for suicide risk across health care settings. Moreover, suicidal crises are relatively low-incidence events associated with high provider stress. Low-cost, scalable strategies to support provider implementation of recommended screening and triage practices are needed. Plastic badges containing mnemonic aids and worn directly underneath one's formal identification badge (i.e., "badge buddies,") may be one promising approach. Although badge buddies are frequently used in health care domains to support recall of procedures in other low-incidence, high-stress situations, suicide-specific badge buddies have not been developed or tested. We developed, iteratively refined, and gathered preliminary acceptability and feasibility data for a suicide prevention badge buddy (SPBB). A user-centered design process in a large health care system identified critical badge content through interviews with a diverse group of stakeholders (
