Suicide and suicide attempts among women in the Manitoba Mothers and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder cohort: a retrospective matched analysis using linked administrative data.
Article in CMAJ open, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundWomen who give birth to children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) may be at increased risk for suicide; however, there are few data in this area. The objective of this study was to compare rates of suicide between women who had given birth to children with FASD and women who had not given birth to children with FASD during critical periods in their lives, including before pregnancy, during pregnancy, during the postpartum period (maternal death) and until the end of the study period.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of women with children born in Manitoba between Apr. 1, 1984, and Mar. 31, 2012 in whom FASD was diagnosed between Apr. 1, 1999, and Mar. 31, 2012, with follow-up until Dec. 1, 2013 (FASD group;
resultsThe 2799 participants produced 40 390.21 person-years until the end of the study period. Compared to the comparison group, the FASD group had higher rates of suicide completion (adjusted RR 6.20 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.36-16.31]), a higher number of women who attempted suicide after the postpartum period until the end of the study period (adjusted RR 4.62 [95% CI 2.53-8.43]) and a higher number of attempts after the postpartum period until the end of the study period (adjusted RR 3.92 [95% CI 2.30-6.09]).
interpretationThis study identified a group of women with increased rates of social complexities, mental disorders and alcohol use, which places them at risk for suicide. Interventions are needed that screen for suicidal behaviour in women who are at high risk to consume alcohol during pregnancy and have mental disorders.
