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.

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
Background: Suicide is defined as the deliberate ending of one's own life or a deadly self-injurious act with evidence of the intention to die. Suicide among youths is a significant public mental health issue. Young individuals, particularly adolescents, are naturally susceptible to mental health problems. Methods: The present study has the cross-sectional study design based on simple random sampling technique. Initially, the questionnaire was self -administered to 4353 respondents. Questionnaire with incomplete responses was discarded, and finally, a sample of 4278 was used for the analysis. The study is based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the data was collected between the months of January 2022 and April 2022. The survey instrument used in the present study comprised of two sections. Results: In our study, 79.5% of the respondents agreed to the statement "the ruling of suicide is the biggest factor to the low incidences of suicide in our community." Further, 66.6% of the respondents agreed that suicide is an idea or an act that a person can repel by religious practices such as prayer. Conclusion: A focus on suicidal behavior is a critical public health priority because although suicide is a prominent cause of mortality among teenagers; many more youths are at risk for suicide as a result of having suicidal ideation, creating suicide plans, and making an attempt. Trends in teenage suicide attempts increased overall and among numerous demographic categories.
