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

Suicide has become one of the leading causes of mortality among the adolescent population. This worrisome fact demands an exhaustive analysis of this social phenomenon's reality.

objectiveThis paper aims to carry out a systematic review of the existing scientific literature in recent years on suicide among minors and adolescents.

methodTo achieve this purpose, central databases, WoS, Scopus, and Dialnet, were analyzed, obtaining 34 articles.

resultsThe results are structured into three main categories. (1) Risk factors: psychological and mental health factors, family and context factors, and, finally, school factors. (2) Prevention: School as prevention, emotional education programs, and tools to deal with this situation. And, finally, the third block, (3) family experiences in the face of suicidal behavior.

conclusionsThe studies reviewed highlight the enormous complexity of this problem and show a worrying situation regarding suicide, considering multifactorial aspects such as depression, psychosocial issues, and mood disorders, as well as causes related to the school environment, such as bullying and lack of connection with school. In addition, they denote the importance of family factors in this aspect. Finally, the results highlight the importance of prevention and early detection, underlining the need to develop concrete actions to alleviate this growing situation among adolescents.
