1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 significant heterogeneity among individuals who die by suicide complicates prevention, suggesting that a "one-size-fits-all" approach is insufficient. It is crucial to identify distinct subgroups for targeted strategies. This study aims to characterize suicide profiles based on trait impulsivity and related factors.

methodsData from the FRieNDS project (

resultsWe identified three clusters: (1) Impulsive-aggressive (29.8%), characterized by high rates of Cluster B disorders, substance abuse, more stressful events, and low lethal intent; (2) depressive prior attempters (24.5%), which comprised mostly women and showed greater behavioural changes before death; and (3) non-impulsive/aggressive (45.7%), a group with no clear psychopathological profile, less healthcare contact, and minimal communicated intent to die, despite having few prior attempts.

conclusionsOur study identified three suicide clusters with varying impulsivity levels, highlighting the need for tailored interventions and community-level research for better suicide prevention strategies.
