Predictors of suicidal behavior in a sample of incarcerated individuals.
Observational study in Trends in psychiatry and psychotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveIncarcerated individuals exhibit higher suicide rates compared to the general population. Investigating risk factors aids in developing effective public policies and interventions. The goal of this study was to assess and analyze factors predicting both suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts in a population of male incarcerated individuals who engage in the use of multiple psychoactive substances.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted. A total of 174 male individuals deprived of liberty participated in the study, all of whom were serving a closed prison sentence during the data collection steps. Participants were assessed with the following instruments: the Addiction Severity Index (ASI-6) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11).
resultsAmongst our sample, observed prevalences were 36.7% for suicidal ideation and 16% for suicide attempts. Impulsivity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.098, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.008-1.197), social support (OR = 0.281, 95%CI 0.085-0.925), witnessing someone being killed or beaten (OR = 5.173, 95%CI 2.143-12.486), cigarette use (OR = 3.309, 95%CI 1.063-10.293), and cocaine use (OR = 2.678, 95%CI 1.040-6.897) were found to be associated with suicidal ideation. No significant associations were found between drug use and suicide attempts.
conclusionA high prevalence of suicidal behaviors was observed among the study sample, with findings demonstrating that impulsivity moderately differentiates between the groups "with" and "without" suicidal ideation. Traumatic life events and substance use were also associated with suicide ideation, while social support was established as a protective factor against it.
