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
backgroundIncreases in suicide attempts in preadolescents represent a serious public health concern. This study aimed to identify prospective and concurrent risk factors that differentiate children with suicidal ideation (SI) from those with a suicide attempt (SA) across childhood.
method195 participants comprised of 8-12-year-olds from the Pediatric Suicidality Study, which followed a sample of preschoolers enriched for depression into preadolescence. Clinical diagnostic interviews and surveys to assess children's thoughts, behaviors, and experiences were administered to caregivers (preschool, preadolescence) and children (preadolescence).
resultsThree groups were created based on preadolescents' lifetime history of SI/SA: Suicide Attempt (SA; n = 25), Suicide Ideation without Attempt (SI-only; n = 102), and No SI/SA (n = 68). Compared to preadolescents with SI-only, preadolescents with SA exhibited increased depression (OR = 1.52), anxiety (OR = 1.32), maladaptive guilt (OR = 3.31), catastrophizing (OR = 1.24), stressful (OR = 1.20) and traumatic events (OR = 1.82) by preadolescence. Preadolescents with SA also exhibited increased anxiety (OR = 1.07) and maladaptive guilt during preschool (OR = 4.10). Family SA and social relationships did not differentiate groups.
conclusionsFindings demonstrate unique and separable risk factors for SI and SA in children under age 13 with clinical implications for assessing suicide risk. Alongside depression and anxiety, assessments of maladaptive guilt may be important to identify at-risk children for increased monitoring and intervention.
