Prevalence of suicidal behavior in patients with chronic pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Objective: Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability, severely impairing an individual's daily activity and quality of life. In addition, this condition may contribute to suicidal thoughts by leading to neuropsychological impairments, a perceived lack of meaning in life, and pain-related catastrophizing. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively investigate the prevalence and associated factors of suicidal behaviors (SBs) including suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA) or its complete, in individuals with chronic pain. Methods: Five electronic databases were searched up to October 4, 2022. Only observational studies investigating the prevalence of SB in individuals with chronic pain were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the prevalence of SB in the population, and the command "Metaprop" was used in STATA/MP 16. In addition, factors explaining the association between chronic pain and SB identified through regression analysis were investigated. Results: A total of 19 studies were included in this review ( Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated the high prevalence of SB in individuals with chronic pain. Specifically, around 1 in 4 individuals with chronic pain had SI within the last 2 weeks. However, there was considerable heterogeneity in the pooled prevalence of SB in this population.
