Factors related to suicide attempts among individuals with major depressive disorder.

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
backgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of suicidal behaviors. Risk related to suicide attempts among individuals with MDD remains uninvestigated in upper northern Thailand, where the completed suicide rate is the highest in the nation.
objectiveTo examine risk related to suicide attempts among individuals with MDD.
methodsIndividuals diagnosed with MDD using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10), codes F32.x and F33.x, seeking care at Suanprung Psychiatric Hospital between October 2006 and May 2009 were eligible. All individuals with MDD admitted due to suicide attempts were defined as cases (n = 186), and four controls per case were selected from those who did not attempt suicide on the same day or within a week of case selection (n = 914). Their medical charts were reviewed for sociodemographic and clinical factors influencing suicide attempts using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
resultsFactors related to suicide attempts were stressful life events (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27-4.24), alcohol use (adjusted OR, 2.08; 95% CI: 1.29-3.34), intermittent or poor psychiatric medications adherence (adjusted OR, 2.25; 95% CI: 1.44-3.51), up to two previous suicide attempts (adjusted OR, 3.64; 95% CI: 2.32-5.71), more than two previous suicide attempts (adjusted OR, 11.47; 95% CI: 5.73-22.95), and prescribed antipsychotics (adjusted OR, 3.84; 95% CI: 2.48-5.95). Risk factors that were inversely related to suicide attempts were increasing years of MDD treatment; one to five years (adjusted OR, 0.22; 95% CI: 0.11-0.44), over five years (adjusted OR, 0.44; 95% CI: 0.23-0.86), and antidepressant prescribed (norepinephrine [NE] and/or serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SRIs], adjusted OR, 0.28; 95% CI: 0.10-0.78). The final model explained 85.8% probability of suicide attempts.
conclusionSeven key factors suggested from this study may facilitate clinicians to identify individuals with MDD at risk of suicide attempt and provide them close monitoring, timely assessment, and intensive treatments.
