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
Background and Aims: Mental illness is an important risk factor for suicidal ideation. However, little has been known about the burden and associated factors of suicidal ideation among persons with psychiatric disorders in Iraq. We aim to investigate the rate and the associated demographic and clinical factors of suicidal ideation among persons with mental illness in Iraq. Methods: Data were collected from 388 persons with mental disorders from psychiatric outpatient clinics in Baghdad in 2023 for this cross-sectional study. The instrument contained socio-demographic and clinical variables, and the Results: Among the 388 respondents, 67% were males, and about half of the patients were younger than 40 years old. Affective (49.8%) and psychotic disorders (17.5%) were the most common mental disorders. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was 37.1% in the last year. The majority of suicidal ideation fell into a low severity range on the C-SSRS, particularly for patients who had no prior history of suicidal behavior. Suicidal ideation was significantly associated with female gender, crowded accommodations experiencing recent psychological trauma, presence of a family history of mental disorder, and family history of suicidal behavior. Conclusions: Suicidal ideation was present in more than one-third of persons with psychiatric disorders. Policy-level implications could be warranted during regular appointments of psychiatric patients to identify risky individuals in outpatient settings.
