Incidence of and sociological risk factors for suicide death in patients with leukemia: A population-based study.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. 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
objectivesSuicide is closely related to sociological factors, but sociological analyses of suicide risk in leukemia are lacking. This study is the first to use the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) database to analyze sociological risk factors for suicide death in leukemia patients.
methodsA retrospective search of the SEER database was conducted. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for suicide death. Variables significant in the univariate logistic regression models were subsequently analyzed using multivariate regression.
resultsThe death rate was highest in California (1.73%). Suicide mortality was more common during the 1970s and 1980s, after which it trended downward. Young age at diagnosis (18-34 vs. >64 years: odds ratio [OR] = 1.537, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.007-2.347; 35-64 vs. >64 years: OR = 1.610, 95% CI = 1.309-1.979), being male (OR = 1.518, 95% CI = 1.230-1.873), and living where a high proportion of people have at least a bachelor's degree (>50% vs. <20%: OR = 8.115, 95% CI = 5.053-13.034) significantly increased suicide death risk.
conclusionOur findings could increase clinician awareness of and appropriate support for leukemia patients at risk of death by suicide.
