Suicidal transition rates and their predictors in the adult general population: a repeated survey over 21 years in France.
Article in European psychiatry : the journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05230043 (The Choice of a Violent Suicidal Means), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe "suicidal transition" from ideation to an act has become a specific topic of research. However, rates in the general population, variations across time and risk factors are unclear.
methodsData were collected from the phone survey
resultsMean 12-month rates of suicidal ideation, attempts and transition were 4.7% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) (4.6-4.8)), 0.5% (95% CI (0.4-0.5)) and 7.7% (95% CI (6.8-8.6)), respectively. Transition rates varied between 4.5 and 11.9% across surveys. In multivariable analyses, higher transitions rates were associated with a previous suicide attempt (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) = 11.1 95% CI (7.9-15.6)); 18-25 vs 26-55-year-olds (1.8 95% CI (1.2-2.8)); lower vs higher income (1.7 95% CI (1.0-2.7); and lower vs higher professional categories (aOR around 1.9). No significant association was found with gender, education level, employment status, living alone, urbanicity, current major depression, daily smoking, weekly heavy drinking, cannabis use, and body mass index.
conclusionsMost people with suicidal ideation do not attempt suicide. These findings emphasize the need to avoid generic terms such as "suicidality", and to increase research on suicidal transition to improve prevention and prediction. They may also inform the organization of suicide prevention in the general population.
