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
backgroundSuicide prevention programmes have effectively reduced suicidal behaviours, increased knowledge and fostered help-seeking. However, suicide is a complex phenomenon, and its risk and protective factors differ across cultures.
objectiveTo contextualise the LivingWorks safeTALK™ suicide prevention programme for secondary school students in Nepal.
methodsA qualitative descriptive approach using focus groups informed by the Socio-Ecological Model and guided by Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) was used. The study was conducted in Nepal via Zoom™ from Australia, from September 15-30, 2024. Five focus groups were conducted with 18 participants, including adolescents, schoolteachers, parents, healthcare providers, and policymakers. Data were transcribed, translated to English and uploaded to NVivo v.14. A hybrid content analysis approach was used.
resultsData were presented across seven categories: 1. Factors contributing to suicide in Nepal, 2. The need for adolescent suicide prevention programmes in Nepal, 3. Stigma around suicide in Nepal, 4. Attitude towards adolescent suicide and the safeTALK™ suicide prevention programme, 5. Recommended modifications to the safeTALK™ programme 6. Readiness to implement an adolescent suicide prevention programme in Nepal, and 7. Challenges in implementing an adolescent suicide prevention programme in Nepal. Participants reported the need for adolescent suicide prevention in Nepal is high, and contributing factors to suicide are influenced by cultural practices and socioeconomic conditions. Further stigma around suicide prevents adolescents from seeking help. Some modifications to the existing programme were suggested by the participants. Some of the suggestions included translating the programme to Nepali and inclusion of Nepalese cultural practices. Minor modifications were made following approval from LivingWorks Australia.
conclusionSuicide prevention is a major issue and requires further research to develop a culturally appropriate suicide prevention programme, especially among at-risk adolescents in Nepal. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Adapted CBPR gave voice to the community, and led to dialogue and learning, and participatory decision-making that were reflected in the contextualised safeTALK™ suicide prevention programme.
