Racial/Ethnic Differences in Preceding Circumstances of Suicide and Potential Suicide Misclassification Among US Adolescents.

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
purposeThere is a paucity of research on racial/ethnic differences in preceding circumstances of suicide among adolescents aged 10-19 years and consequential potential misclassification of suicide deaths (i.e., manner of death classified as injury of undetermined intent). This study (1) examined preceding circumstances of suicide among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander (A/PI), non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN), and Hispanic adolescent decedents; and (2) investigated potential suicide misclassification of racial/ethnic minority decedents.
methodsWe used data from the 2006-2015 National Violent Death Reporting System Restricted Access Database. Multivariable logistic regression analyses examined differences in depressed mood, mental health problem and treatment, crisis in the past 2 weeks, problems with school, intimate partner, family relationship, and other relationships (e.g., friend) among racial/ethnic minority decedents compared to White decedents. A separate logistic regression analysis assessed potential suicide misclassification of racial/ethnic minority decedents relative to White counterparts.
resultsAdjusting for sex and suicide history and circumstances, all racial/ethnic minority decedents had significantly lower odds of documented mental health problem and treatment compared to White decedents. Racial/ethnic differences in relationship problems were also identified. Black decedents had significantly higher odds of manner-of-death classification as undetermined intent than did White decedents, suggesting greater likelihood of suicide misclassification.
conclusionsCircumstances contributing to suicide among adolescents differ by race/ethnicity, indicating the need for culturally tailored suicide prevention efforts.
