Associations of Self-Reported Deterrents to Suicide Attempts in Depressed Older Adults.
Article in The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric 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
backgroundThis study examined deterrents to suicide in depressed older adults with and without a lifetime suicide attempt.
methodsOlder adults (N=264, M±SD age = 62.5±7.9 years) participating in a study on late-life suicide risk provided deterrents to suicide via free-response item. Two independent raters categorized participant responses based on Linehan's Reasons for Living scale. Logistic regression compared deterrent categories between attempters and nonattempters.
resultsSurvival/coping beliefs (54%) and relationships (52%) were the most cited deterrents. Neither the number of categories endorsed, nor the type of deterrent categories were differentially associated with lifetime suicide attempt. Among attempters (n=106) individuals who attempted suicide more recently were less likely to endorse relationship deterrents compared to individuals who attempted suicide in the distal past.
conclusionsBeliefs in one's ability to deal with stressful situations may have long-standing positive effect on suicidal behavior, while social disconnectedness is associated with recent suicide attempts.
