Deaths in patients with psychiatric disorders: a 10-year retrospective records review in Northern Tunisia.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with psychiatric disorders experience a higher all-cause mortality compared with the general population. The aim of our study was to investigate the causes of death in psychiatric patients.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical and autopsy records of clinically diagnosed psychiatric patients who underwent autopsy, from January 2012 to December 2021. We collected data related to demographics, medical history and autopsy findings. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, crossings and trend analysis.
resultsA total of 826 deaths among psychiatric patients were collected, including 622 (75.3%) men and 204 (24.7%) women. The rate of deaths in psychiatric patients increased over the years (R
conclusionsSuicide and cardiovascular diseases were the major causes of death in psychiatric patients. Suicide risk stratification, lifestyle and cardio-metabolic factor modifications and careful antipsychotic management are crucial for reducing mortality in psychiatric patients.
