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

backgroundThis study examines the prospective associations of alcohol and drug misuse with suicidal behaviors among service members who have left active duty. We also evaluate potential moderating effects of other risk factors and whether substance misuse signals increased risk of transitioning from thinking about to attempting suicide.

methodUS Army veterans and deactivated reservists (

resultsIn models controlling for socio-demographic characteristics and prior suicidality, binge drinking, cannabis use, prescription drug abuse, illicit drug use, and AUD were associated with subsequent suicidal ideation (AORs = 1.42-2.60,

conclusionsAlcohol and drug misuse are associated with subsequent suicidal behaviors in this population. Awareness of differences across sex and depression status may inform suicide risk assessment.
