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
Suicide is an increasingly important public healthcare concern worldwide. Studies examining the effect of attempted suicide on clinical outcomes among patients with trauma are scarce. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a community emergency department in Japan. We included all severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score > 15 from January 2002 to December 2021. The primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality. The other outcome of interest was hospital length of stay. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed to compare these outcomes between suicide attempt and no suicide attempt groups. Of the 2714 eligible patients, 183 (6.7%) had trauma caused by a suicide attempt. In the propensity score-matched analysis with 139 pairs, the suicide attempt group showed a significant increase in-hospital mortality (20.9% vs. 37.4%; odds ratio 2.27; 95% confidence intervals 1.33-3.87) compared with the no suicide attempt group. Among survivors, the median hospital length of stay was significantly longer in the suicide attempt group than that in the no suicide attempt group (9 days vs. 12 days,
