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 significant global public health issue impacting individuals, families, and communities across the world. People with medical and surgical conditions are at an elevated risk of experiencing suicidal thoughts. However, to the best of our knowledge, in Ethiopia, there has not been any published research that examines the magnitude and associated factors of suicidal ideation in this context. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of suicidal ideation among medical and surgically admitted patients in South Gondar public hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023. A multi-center institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted in South Gondar public hospitals. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 616 individuals with a response rate of 98.2%. Suicidal ideation was measured using the World Health Organization's Composite International Diagnostic Interview suicide module. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate binary logistic regressions were employed, with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The significance of the association was determined with a p-value of less than 0.05. The prevalence of suicidal ideation in this study was 24.7% (95% CI: 20.8, 27.7). Poor life satisfaction (AOR = 2.64, 95% CI, 1.63, 4.3), poor social support (AOR: 3.38; 95% CI; 1.97, 5.8), being female (AOR: 1.98; 95% CI; 1.19, 3.3), depression (AOR: 2.67; 95% CI; 1.67, 4.22), prior suicidal ideation and/or attempt (AOR = 2.73, 95% CI; 1.47, 5.1), having high perceived threat (AOR = 3.0; 95% CI; 1.69, 5.29), and having poor sleep quality (AOR: 2.54; 95% CI 1.5, 4.25) were significantly associated with suicidal ideation at p-value < 0.05. The prevalence of suicidal ideation is notably high among patients hospitalized in surgical and medical wards. Effective screening, timely intervention, and enhanced support systems are essential for individuals, particularly for females, with poor social support, high perceived threat, prior suicidal ideation and/or attempt, poor sleep quality, depression, and low life satisfaction.
