Insulin-Related Suicides-3 Cases.
Article in Academic forensic pathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Insulin is a pancreas-produced hormone, which is essential for normal life. In persons with diabetes, who lack sufficient production of endogenous insulin, the availability of exogenously-produced and administered insulin represents an extremely valuable, life-preserving medical advancement. Unfortunately, as with many other medications, overdosage with insulin can and does occur, sometimes in an intentional suicidal manner. Another possible insulin-related suicidal action involves the intentional cessation of insulin therapy by someone who relies on insulin for survival. In this case series, we present 3 cases of insulin-related suicides, including two related to intentional insulin overdose and one where a known diabetic purposefully stopped taking insulin in order to commit suicide.
