[Assisted suicide from a psychiatric perspective].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Assisted suicide has been the subject of controversial debates for years, particularly intensively since a ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (BVerfG) in 2020, which postulated that the only prerequisite for the legitimacy of assistance is the free decision to commit suicide. This brings the issue into the focus of psychiatry. On the one hand, because people with mental illnesses can seek assisted suicide and on the other hand, because these illnesses often but not necessarily limit the ability to make a free decision on suicide. In the area of tension between the medical obligation to life and to suicide prevention on the one hand and the obligation to respect autonomous decisions of patients on the other hand, psychiatrists are not only personally challenged to develop a moral stance, but also as a profession to define the role and obligations of the discipline. This overview aims to contribute to this.
