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
introductionDespite current suicide prevention strategies, suicide rates are increasing in many Western countries in the 45-60 age group. To comprehend the high risk of suicide in this group, it is essential to gain insight into its risk factors.
methodsA case-control psychological autopsy study examined the differences between individuals who died by suicide (i.e., suicide cases) and those with psychological problems (i.e., living controls) between the ages of 45 and 60 years.
resultsEighty-two informants were interviewed regarding 48 suicide cases and 23 controls. Controls were significantly more likely than suicide cases to have discussed the subject of euthanasia (45.5% vs.15.2%), to experience physical problems (95.7% vs. 70.8%), and to undergo treatment for these problems (73.9% vs. 39.6%). Suicide cases were more likely to be diagnosed with a depressive episode, depressive disorder (87.5% vs. 60.9%), but less likely to have current treatment for psychiatric disorders (70.8% vs. 95.7%). Suicide cases were more likely than controls to experience problems at work (85.4% vs. 60.9%), future financial problems (59.0% vs. 22.2%), and concerns about these problems (56.8% vs. 22.2).
conclusionThe results suggest possibilities for suicide prevention among middle-aged individuals through targeted interventions addressing mental healthcare, occupational settings, and financial distress.
