The research output on child and adolescent suicide in Brazil: a systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Revista brasileira de psiquiatria (Sao Paulo, Brazil : 1999), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveSuicide is the third leading cause of death among Brazilians aged 10 to 24 years. We aimed to review and describe the research output on suicide in children and adolescents in Brazil and to identify strengths and gaps in this literature.
methodsPubMed/MEDLINE was searched for studies on suicide of children and adolescents (aged 0-19 years) in Brazil, published from inception to December 31, 2017.
resultsOur search identified 1,061 records, of which 146 were included. A large proportion (134 studies; 90.4%) were original articles classified as observational epidemiological studies. Fifty-two articles (35.6%) used primary data. Of those, 18 (12.3%) evaluated prevalence of suicidal behaviors in population-based samples. Seventy studies (47.9%) addressed death by suicide, and the remainder reported other phenomena, such as ideation, planning, or suicide attempt. Only 37 publications (25.3%) studied children and/or adolescents exclusively. Most of the studies (53.5%) were conducted with samples from the South and Southeast regions of Brazil.
conclusionOur findings indicate that the body of evidence on suicide among children and adolescents in Brazil is limited. The scientific output is of low quality, and there is a complete lack of interventional studies specifically designed for the youth population.
