Factors associated with self-harm in patients with substance use disorders who died by suicide: national hybrid questionnaire registry 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
backgroundSelf-harm, self-poisoning or self-injury, irrespective of the motivation, is a central risk factor for suicide. Still, there is limited knowledge of self-harm among patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) who die by suicide.
aimsWe aimed to describe the prevalence of a history of self-harm and identify the factors associated with self-harm, comparing individuals who died by suicide with and without SUDs.
methodWe used data from the Norwegian Surveillance System for Suicide in Mental Health and Substance Use Services, which is based on a national linkage between the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and the Norwegian Patient Registry, to identify individuals who died by suicide within 1 year after last contact with mental health or substance use services (
resultsThe prevalence of self-harm was 55% in patients with SUDs and 52.6% in patients without SUDs. Suicidal ideation (odds ratio 2.98 (95% CI 1.74-5.10)) emerged as a factor shared with patients without SUDs, while personality disorders (odds ratio 1.96 (1.12-3.40)) and a history of violence (odds ratio 1.86 (1.20-2.87)) were unique factors for patients with SUDs.
conclusionsA history of self-harm is prevalent in patients with SUDs who die by suicide and is associated with suicidal ideation, a history of violence and personality disorders in patients with SUDs.
