Sociodemographic and clinical determinants of suicidal ideation: an analysis in a Peruvian consultation-liaison psychiatry unit.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundSuicidal ideation (SI) poses a significant global health concern, particularly among hospitalized individuals, with gaps in understanding its contributing factors in low and middle-income countries like Peru.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional design, this study examined 940 patients evaluated by the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Unit at a major Peruvian general hospital. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were assessed, employing standardized instruments such as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and Clinical Global Impressions (CGI). The prevalence of SI and its associations were explored through bivariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsThe prevalence of SI was 19.7%, with notable associations found in patients experiencing moderate-to-severe depression (36.8%) and those rated as moderately to severely ill on CGI (33.2%). Multivariate analysis confirmed these associations, highlighting link with retirement (aPR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.04-2.26, p = 0.032), clinical severity (aPR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.22-1.63, p < 0.0001), and depressive symptoms (aPR = 2.98, 95% CI = 2.13-4.17, p < 0.0001) on SI.
conclusionThis study provides insights into factors associated with SI among hospitalized patients. Identifying risk factors, such as retirement, clinical severity, and depressive symptoms, underscores the need for targeted interventions to address SI within the Peruvian general hospital setting.
