Suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide death among Veterans and service members: A comprehensive meta-analysis of risk factors.
Article in Military psychology : the official journal of the Division of Military Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in America. Particularly at risk, Veterans are 1.5 times more likely to die by suicide than non-Veterans, and the suicide rate among service members has risen over the last decade. In the present study, we (1) assessed risk factors for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide death within and between Veterans and service members, (2) identified the most commonly studied and (3) the strongest risk factors for suicide-related outcomes among Veterans and service members, and (4) compared overall and risk factor-specific meta-analytic prediction of suicide-related outcomes in Veterans and service members, as determined in the present meta-analysis, to that of the general population. Authors harvested longitudinal effects predicting suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, or suicide deaths in Veterans or service members until May 1, 2020. Traumatic Brain Injury, substance/alcohol use disorders, prior Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behavior, PTSD, and depressive symptoms were among the most commonly studied risk factors. Anger/aggression was particularly strong risk factors, providing a source for future study and intervention efforts. When combined, risk factors conferred similar risk for suicide attempts and suicide death among Veterans, service members, and the general population. However, when analyzing
