Epidemiology and predictors of suicide and suicide attempt in Northwest Iran: a pilot study for local prevention strategies.

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
The suicide rate in Bonab County, northwest Iran, has been reported to exceed 16 per 100,000. To develop and implement an effective suicide prevention program (SPP) at the local level in this County, a population-based epidemiological study was conducted to investigate factors associated with suicide and suicide attempts (SA). In this population and registry-based descriptive-analytical study, all deaths of suicide and SA from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed. Data were collected through a population-based registry for suicide and using community health workers in primary care. The study compared epidemiological characteristics and related risk factors between suicide and SA. Multiple logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders and calculated the adjusted odds ratios (AOR) for the likelihood of suicide compared to attempts. During 2021-2023, the suicide rates were 16.2, 11.44, and 12.08, while the SA rates were 212, 234, and 237 per 100,000 people. Overall, the suicide rate decreased, whereas the SA rate increased during this period. In the final analysis, males (AOR = 1.97: 1.2-3.6), individuals aged 35-60 (AOR = 1.56: 1.01-3.7), hanging (AOR = 7.4: 2.6-14.2), family conflicts (AOR = 2.65: 1.8-6.13), stressful life events (AOR = 1.25: 1.1-3.9), and unemployment (AOR = 1.8: 1.04-3.5) were associated with an increased likelihood of suicide. The suicide rate in this county surpasses the national average. Predictors of suicide and SA exhibit fundamental differences in this County. The study identified family conflicts, stressful life events, the hanging method, male gender, unemployment, and adult age as reliable predictors for suicide, while factors such as having psychiatric disorders, previous SA, and being female were linked to SA. These factors should be taken into account when developing SPP in Bonab County. Furthermore, the study highlights the need to consider various socioeconomic and cultural factors when developing SPP.
