Suicide Risk in U.S. Adults: Alcohol Misuse, Veteran Status, and Urbanization Comparison.
Article in Rural mental health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Suicide is a pressing public health concern. Identifying risk factors and understanding their interplay is vital for effective prevention and intervention. This study examined the association of alcohol misuse, veteran status, and urbanization on suicide risk among U.S. adults. Using data from the 2015-2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a representative sample of U.S. adults. To determine overall risk for suicide, adjusted odds ratios were calculated through multivariable adjusted multinomial logistic regression. The study utilized self-report survey data collected from noninstitutionalized U.S. population. The NSDUH utilized a stratified multistage probability sampling method to ensure representative data collection. Suicide risk did not differ significantly between urban and rural areas. Heavy drinking increased risk for suicide ideation and attempts among urban veterans and nonveterans. Binge drinking had a positive association with suicide ideation in urban nonveterans. In rural areas, alcohol misuse did not significantly influence suicide risk among veterans. Alcohol misuse is a significant risk factor for suicide among both veterans and nonveterans in urban settings. Tailored suicide prevention strategies that account for urbanization and veteran status are critically needed.
