Factors influencing suicidal ideations among late adolescents in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study from the Korea community health survey.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on people's mental health and increased the risk of suicide. Research on suicidal ideation in adolescents is needed, especially since suicide is one of the leading causes of death among adolescents.
methodsSuicidal ideation among late adolescents was analyzed using data from the 2021 Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS). The subjects of the study were 12,828 late adolescents aged 19 to 24 years. The Chi-squared test and multivariable logistic regression were used to investigate the impact of sociodemographic characteristics, health-behavioral factors, and factors related to COVID-19 on suicidal ideation. Finally, the analysis used an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval.
resultsIt was found that 5.4%of the study subjects experienced suicidal ideation. The ideations were higher in women than in men. Those who graduated from college or higher, had an income of more than 2 million won, and lived in rural areas had lower levels of suicidal ideation than those who did not. Suicidal ideation was also influenced by smoking, and the physical activity of the subjects. When the impact of COVID-19 variables was examined, the group who believed they were at a high risk of infection had 0.68 times the suicidal ideations of adolescents who did not. Also, adolescents who experienced a severe economic loss due to COVID-19 were 1.89 times more likely to have suicidal ideation than others who had not suffered such losses.
conclusionThe results of this study suggest that suicidal ideations in late adolescents are influenced by socioeconomic characteristics, health behavioral factors, and factors related to COVID-19. These results can be used as basic data when developing youth mental health promotion programs.
