Lessons to be learned: identifying high-risk medication and circumstances in patients at risk for suicidal self-poisoning.
Article in International journal of mental health systems, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAlthough the total number of suicides decreased since the beginning of the 1980s, the number of suicide-related behaviors using self-intoxication increased. Therefore, research on the characteristics of individuals committing self-intoxication becomes of growing importance for risk assessments and the development of preventive measures.
methodsIn this prospective, observational, monocentric cohort study, all incoming calls at our Poisons Control Centre reporting suicide-related behaviors through self-intoxication, were analyzed via a standardized questionnaire over 12 months. Both univariate and bivariate analyses were performed.
results1238 cases of deliberate intoxication were included in the study. The majority of cases occurred in the age group between 18 and 44 (n = 607/49%), two-thirds were female (n = 817/66%). The main substances used were antidepressants (n = 420/34%), peripheral analgesics (n = 322/26%) and neuroleptics (n = 282/23%). The majority of patients ingested substances from their prescribed medication (n = 640/82%) with the highest proportion in those aged over 64 years (n = 72/113; 91%, p < 0.001). Substance use was reported for the minority of patients (n = 175/23%). For 704 cases (79%), a psychiatric disorder was documented. Factors associated with recurrent suicide-related behaviors were an underlying psychiatric disorder (OR = 6.2; 95% CI 3.8-10.4), substance use (OR = 2.4; 95% CI 1.5-3.8), and ingestion of neuroleptics (OR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.0) or antidepressants (OR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.2-2.3).
conclusionThis study might contribute to identifying individuals with an increased risk of suicide-related behaviors by deliberate intoxication and to developing preventive strategies for future suicide attempt(s).
