Sexual and gender identity and note-leaving among adult suicide decedents in the USA.

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 is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the USA, representing a critical public health threat. Suicide risks differ for different populations. In particular, the sexual and gender minority (SGM) population remains at increased risk for suicide. One of the circumstances that may differ for SGM and non-SGM individuals is the propensity to leave a suicide note. Information regarding note-leaving may be helpful in informing suicide prevention and intervention.
aimsThis study documents the differences in note-leaving in SGM individuals compared with non-SGM individuals, using recent data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (
methodWe fit a logistic regression model with SGM status and covariates predicting note-leaving in suicide.
resultsSGM decedents were 1.508 times more likely to leave a note than their non-SGM counterparts, controlling for demographic, mental health and substance use covariates.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of tailoring suicide prevention and intervention efforts to meet the needs of SGM populations.
