Key messages for suicide prevention media campaigns in Iran: findings from a Delphi study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundWorldwide and among 15-29-year-olds suicide have considered as the third leading cause of death. This study aims to provide key messages for suicide prevention campaigns for Iranian population.
methodsDelphi method was used as the methodological framework based on questionnaires completed by two groups i.e. researchers and psychologists/psychiatrists (Stage two). The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) index of the questionnaire was initially evaluated (Stage one).
resultsIn stage one, questionnaires were completed by 15 researchers (13 males) and since CVR of all messages was not under 49%, so all messages of the questionnaire were left to be filled in the second stage. In stage two,130 participants of the psychologists/psychiatrists group (40 males) and 30 researchers (20 males) completed the questionnaires. At the second stage, Pearson's coefficient was r=0.661, indicating a high correlation between the subjects' perspectives. The intra-class coefficient (ICC) for the psychologists/psychiatrists and researchers groups were 0.949 and 0.971 respectively, indicating high agreement among members of each group. It was important for both groups to take suicide communications seriously, listen to suicidal person, encourage the person at risk to openly discuss their feelings and suicide desires, encourage them to contact crisis hotlines, make lethal means of suicide unavailable in case of planning for suicide, and assure them that they are safe.
conclusionThere was significant intra- and inter-class agreement on ranking media campaign messages. The highest rated messages can be used in a suicide prevention media campaign to encourage increased suicide risk recognition. Additionally, it may promote appropriate supportive measures.
