Influencing factors of suicidal ideation in lung cancer patients in Midland China: A mixed-method study.

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
Introduction: The suicide risk of lung cancer patients is higher than that of patients with other cancers. However, as China is a large country for lung cancer, there are no relevant reports on lung cancer suicides. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and explore its influencing factors in lung cancer patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, between July to November 2019, 366 lung cancer patients from the oncology department of a general hospital in Wuhan were chosen as participants. Of these, eight with lung cancer and suicidal ideation were selected for in-depth interviews. Results: A total of 22.68% of lung cancer patients reported suicidal ideation. Sex, cancer stage, number of uncomfortable symptoms, and satisfaction with treatment were independently associated with suicidal ideation. This qualitative study found that the experience of suicidal ideation in lung cancer patients includes physiological (heavy burden of symptoms),psychological (bad mood, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and stigma), and social factors (high economic pressure and negative life events). Discussion: These findings suggest that the incidence of suicidal ideation in lung cancer patients is higher than that of other cancers and is affected by many factors. Therefore, there should be routine screening and assessment of suicidal ideation among lung cancer patients, and related mental health and suicide prevention education should be provided.
