Prevalence of suicide ideation, planning and attempts among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants in the United States.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundSuicide represents a substantial public health problem in the U.S. Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-which provides services for U.S. adults who are food insecure-could be an appropriate venue for suicide prevention strategies targeting high-risk individuals.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used multiple logistic regression to determine odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for suicide ideation, planning and attempt among those who participated in SNAP vs. nonparticipants. The National Survey of Drug Use and Health provided a representative sample of U.S. adults for 2012-2018 (n = 288,730).
resultsSNAP participants were more likely than nonparticipants to have serious suicidal thoughts (crude OR=1.89; 95% CI=1.79-1.99), to have a plan for suicide (crude OR=2.35; 95% CI=2.16-2.56) or to attempt suicide (crude OR=2.89; 95% CI=2.54-3.29). Associations remained for those aged <50 in age-stratified analyses that accounted for survey year, demographics, socioeconomic status, self-rated health and mental health service use. LIMITATIONS: SNAP was assessed at the household level; thus, those who reported suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors may not personally interact with SNAP.
conclusionUsing a large, nationally-representative sample of U.S. adults, this study documented greater prevalence of suicide-related outcomes among those who participate in SNAP. Suicide prevention among SNAP participants may provide a unique means to reach individuals who are often hard to engage in other health services.
