Incidence and Risk Factors for Suicide Attempts in Patients Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder.
Article in Psychology research and behavior management, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study seeks to investigate the cumulative incidence and risk factors of suicide attempts in an outpatient sample of adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a longitudinal study with 377 patients aged between 18 and 60 years. Those were diagnosed with MDD with no history of suicide attempts when they sought care at the Mental Health Outpatient Clinic of the Catholic University of Pelotas and evaluated again 3 years after. Participants were evaluated with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI Plus) and answered instruments of clinical investigation and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
resultsThe cumulative incidence of suicide attempts in the sample was 10.1%. Youths aged up to 29 years (OR 2.23; 95% CI 1.13 to 4.64), with low schooling (OR 2.35; 95% CI 1.15 to 4.80), who suffered intense physical abuse during childhood (OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.31 to 5.84) and were at prior suicide risk (OR 3.39; 95% CI 1.56 to 7.37) were more likely to attempt suicide.
conclusionThe findings of this study may help health professionals identify depressed patients at greater risk for a first suicide attempt, supporting clinical decision and therapeutic planning.
