If so – have a look at JASP or Jamovi below. However, since the package requires the use of the R environment, it may be difficult for those who have never used R before to become accustomed to the package so quickly. Their website contains some very useful analysis and plot examples with the corresponding code. Metafor is one of the many R packages available to conduct meta-analyses and contains the most comprehensive analysis tools.
Published by BMJ.Example forest plot created using Metafor in R. Suicide prevention individual patient data meta-analysis protocol psychotherapy randomized controlled trial. The results will be published in a peer-review journal. Answering these questions will inform mental healthcare practitioners about optimal treatments for different groups of individuals with suicidal ideation and/or behaviour and consequently help to reduce suicide risk.Īn ethical approval is not required for this study. IPD-MA may determine the effectiveness of psychotherapy in reducing suicidality and provide insights into the moderating factors influencing the efficacy of psychotherapy. Additionally, a conventional MA will be conducted to determine the differences between studies that provided IPD and those that did not. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses will be conducted to test the robustness of the findings. A 1-stage IPD-MA will be used to determine the effectiveness of psychotherapy on suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and/or suicide deaths, and to investigate potential patient-related and intervention-related moderators. In addition, as a comparison group we will focus on a control group (waiting-list, care as usual or placebo). For the IPD-MA, we will focus on adult outpatients with suicidal ideation or behaviour.
To build a comprehensive database, randomised controlled trials examining the effect of any psychotherapy targeting any psychiatric disorder on suicidal thoughts or behaviour will be identified by running a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from data inception to 12 August 2019. In addition, we will conduct an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) to establish the effectiveness of psychotherapy in reducing suicidality, and to examine which factors moderate the efficacy of these interventions. This protocol outlines the building of a comprehensive database of the literature in this research field. Furthermore, conventional meta-analyses are unable to test possible effects of moderators affecting this relationship. Psychotherapy may reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviour, but its effectiveness is not well examined.
