National Trends and Directions for Suicide Prevention Research in South Korea: A Narrative Review.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis paper reviews the major trends in current suicide prevention research in Korea and explores future research directions to reduce suicide mortality.
methodsA literature review was conducted using MEDLINE via PubMed and PsycINFO to identify relevant studies published until March 2024. A total of 1,981 English-language abstracts were reviewed, and studies relevant to suicide prevention were selected for the analysis.
resultsSuccessful suicide prevention efforts include restricting carbon monoxide exposure, limiting pesticide sales, and installing platform screen doors in subway stations. Gatekeeper training programs, such as "Suicide CARE," have trained over 7 million people, showing promise in early suicide detection. Media reporting guidelines have also been associated with a reduction in suicide rates, particularly following celebrity suicides.
conclusionThe findings suggest that comprehensive, multifaceted suicide prevention strategies, including environmental changes, training programs, and media control, can effectively reduce suicide rates in South Korea. Future efforts should enhance these strategies, evaluate their long-term impact, and address the new challenges posed by social media.
