Suicidal ideation in the general population in China after the COVID-19 pandemic was initially controlled.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic increases the risk of psychological problems including suicidal ideation (SI) in the general population. In this study, we investigated the risk factors of SI after the COVID-19 pandemic was initially controlled in China.
methodsWe conducted an online questionnaire via JD Health APP in China in June 2020. Demographic data, feelings and experiences related to the COVID-19 pandemic and psychological problems were collected. The participants (n = 14,690) were divided into the non-SI and SI groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine the correlates of SI.
resultsNine percent of the participants (1328/14690) reported SI. The regression analysis showed that SI was positively associated with ethnic minority (OR = 1.42 [1.08-1.85]), age (e.g. 18-30 years: OR = 2.31 [1.67-3.20]), having history of mental disorders (OR = 2.75 [2.27-3.35]), daily life disturbance due to health problems (OR = 1.67 [1.38-2.01]), being around someone with the COVID-19 (OR = 1.58 [1.30-1.91]), being uncertain about effective disease control (OR = 1.23 [1.03-1.46]), and having depressive symptoms (OR = 4.40 [3.59-5.39]), insomnia symptoms (OR = 2.49 [2.13-2.90]) or psychological distress (OR = 1.87 [1.59-2.18]). LIMITATIONS: The main limitation is that the cross-sectional design of this study could not allow us to further explore the causality of SI.
conclusionsThe prevalence of SI was relatively high in general population after the COVID-19 pandemic was initially controlled in China. SI should be monitored continually after the COVID-19 pandemic.
