Association of unhealthy lifestyles and suicidal behaviors among Chinese middle school students: a latent class analysis.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundThe unhealthy lifestyles not only affect physical development of adolescents but are also closely related to various psychological problems. This article will examine potential classes of middle school students' lifestyles and explore the associations between lifestyles and suicidal behaviors.
methodsData were collected from a cross-sectional survey of middle schools in five cities of Guangxi. A total of 5291 students completed the short questionnaire on suicidal behaviors and lifestyles. The latent class analysis was used to identify the unrecorded patterns of lifestyles. Multifactor logistic regression was used to explore the associations between health lifestyles and suicidal behaviors.
resultsThe three classes lifestyles were identified: Class1(8.0%) - high risk lifestyle group, Class2(18.6%)-high lack of exercise group, and Class3(73.5%) - low risk lifestyle group, respectively. Middle school students among Class 1 had higher odds than Class 3 (OR = 2.061, 95%CI = 1.474 ~ 2.882、OR = 3.323, 95%CI = 2.185 ~ 5.052 for self-injurious thoughts; OR = 2.008, 95%CI = 1.438 ~ 2.804、OR = 3.217, 95%CI = 2.125 ~ 4.868 for suicidal ideations; OR = 1.488, 95%CI = 1.063 ~ 2.081、OR = 2.718, 95%CI = 1.744 ~ 4.236 for self-injurious behaviors) for experiencing self-injurious thoughts, suicidal ideation, and self-injurious behaviors, whether occurring once, five times, or more, respectively. Class 2 were only more likely to engage in self-injurious behavior at once compared to Class 3(OR = 1.414, 95%CI = 1.110 ~ 1.800).
conclusionsThis finding highlighted the importance of improving unhealthy lifestyles for preventing and intervening in suicidal behavior among middle school students. More actions for intervention in the lifestyles of students should be needed to ensure their physical and mental health.
