Sounding the Alarm: Perinatally HIV-Infected Youth More Likely to Attempt Suicide Than Their Uninfected Cohort Peers.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeSuicide is the second leading cause of death among youth in the U.S., yet there are few studies on suicide among youth with perinatally acquired HIV infection (YPHIV). Our aim was to determine if suicide attempts differed for YPHIV compared with perinatally HIV-exposed but uninfected peers (YPHEU).
methodsData come from a longitudinal behavioral health cohort (N = 340) of YPHIV (n = 206) and YPHEU (n = 134) recruited between ages 9 and 16 years and interviewed with psychosocial batteries every 12-18 months. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between reported suicide attempt and participants' HIV status. We assessed whether baseline demographic characteristics and sexual orientation were potential confounding factors. Fisher's exact tests were used to evaluate the association between first attempted suicide and HIV status within age groups.
resultsYPHIV were more likely to make a suicide attempt than YPHEU (odds ratio = 2.35, 95% confidence interval = 1.28-4.34). Youth most often reported their first attempt between the ages of 14-18 years. Demographic characteristics and sexual orientation were not associated with attempted suicide.
conclusionsYPHIV compared with YPHEU were more likely to report a suicide attempt, and this difference emerged during late adolescence and persisted through young adulthood.
