Sociological characteristics of alcohol-induced suicide attempters: A retrospective study.

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
Aim: Although alcohol consumption is known to be a trigger for suicide, the extent to which acute alcohol consumption influences suicide attempts in Japan is unclear. We investigated the actual state and background of alcohol-induced suicide attempts, that is, suicide attempts induced by acute alcohol consumption, in patients with severe suicide attempts admitted to the emergency department. Methods: The subjects were suicide attempters over 20 years old who were admitted to the emergency department between 2010 and 2021. The means of suicide attempt, sociodemographic data, psychiatric diagnoses, and causes and motives of suicide attempts were retrospectively examined from medical records. We compared differences in the characteristics of data obtained from males and females with and without alcohol-induced suicide attempts, and used logistic regression analysis to evaluate the influence of those factors on alcohol-induced suicide attempts. Results: Among the 801 suicide attempters over 20 years old during 2010 to 2021, 130 (16.2%) were alcohol-induced suicide attempters: 61 (18.9%) of 323 male suicide attempters and 69 (14.4%) of 478 female suicide attempters. Substance-induced disorders in both males and females, in addition to marital relations in males and living alone and personality disorders in females, had significant influence on alcohol-induced suicide attempts. Conclusion: Acute alcohol consumption was found to be a trigger in approximately one in six suicide attempts and alcohol-induced suicide attempts were not unique in terms of substance dependence. We believe that focusing on those factors that seemed to influence alcohol-induced suicide attempts in the present study could provide clues regarding the prevention of alcohol-induced suicide attempts.
