Gender inequality, women's human capital and female suicide in selected MENA countries.

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
This paper examines the relationships between gender inequality, women's human capital and female suicide in MENA countries. The study uses a panel of seven MENA countries over the period 2000-2019. The analysis uses Driscoll-Kraay standard error regression and bootstrap-corrected dynamic fixed effects. Women's human capital is decomposed into women's health and education. The findings indicate that gender inequality significantly increases female suicide and that this effect is likely to be U-shaped. The analysis of gender inequality determinants reveals that both women's education and health significantly contribute to reducing gender inequality. However, the analysis of interactions suggests that only women's health is a plausible and effective way to address the impact of gender inequality on female suicide in MENA. These findings underscore the need for policies that promote women's education and improve women's health in the agenda to address female suicide in MENA.
