1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPreventing suicide is an important clinical and research priority according to the World Health Organization across lifespan.

objectiveThis study summarizes the prevalence of suicidal ideation, attempts, and suicide deaths among people living with HIV (PLWH) and explores geographic and sex-based differences in metaanalyses.

methodsAn overview of systematic reviews was conducted using CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and PubMed, covering inception to 16th August 2024.AMSTAR 2 evaluated methodological quality, and review overlap was calculated.

resultsTwelve systematic reviews were included, with the highest overlap for suicide attempts in Africa (CCA = 13%). Meta-analyses showed pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation ranging from 13.8 to 22.1% in Africa, 27.1-30.1% in Asia, 33.7% in Europe, 14.3% in North America, and 27.5% in South America. Suicide attempts ranged from 3.7 to 12.5% in Africa, 3.6-11.2% in Asia, and 20.09% in the Americas. Among males, suicidal ideation prevalence was 40% in PLWH, suicide attempts 16.8%, and suicide deaths 1.5% PLWH. Among females, suicidal ideation was 32.8%, suicide attempts 29.0%, and suicide deaths 1.2% in PLWH.

conclusionSuicidal ideation and attempts are prevalent in PLWH, with notable geographic and sex-based differences.
