Long-term outcomes of deliberate self-poisoning in adolescents and factors associated with repeated self-poisoning and self-injury: a Sri Lankan perspective.

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 study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of deliberate self-poisoning in adolescents and identify associated factors for repeated self-poisoning and self-injury among adolescents in Sri Lanka.
resultsA total of 400 adolescents were analysed. The primary outcome-recurrence of self-harm behaviours-was reported by 63 participants (15.8%), with 30 (7.5%) experiencing at least one repeated episode of deliberate self-poisoning. Independently associated factors for repeated self-poisoning included suicidal ideation at some point in life (p < 0.001, OR; 41.48, CI; 22.76-58.27), a personal history of psychiatric illness (p = 0.002, OR; 20.86.12, CI; 14.97-32.56), being on medication for depression (p < 0.001, OR; 44.37, CI; 27.38-61.24), and a subjective perception of poor health (p = 0.001, OR; 21.92, CI; 15.06-29.72). Secondary outcomes showed that the mean perceived likelihood of future self-poisoning was 2.6 on a 9-point Likert scale. Regarding current functioning, 71 participants (17.7%) reported difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships, 46 (11.5%) reported persistent psychological distress, and 38 (9.5%) reported reduced academic or occupational performance. Although 354 participants (88.5%) had received psychological support after the initial event, this was not significantly associated with reduced recurrence of self-harm (p > 0.05).
