Predictors of suicidality in critical care ICU patients after discharge: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. 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
Background: Suicidality is a critical concern among patients recovering from intensive care unit (ICU) admissions due to their heightened vulnerability to psychological stressors and psychiatric illness. Quantitative studies specifically examining how these ICU-related stressors correlate with suicidal ideation remain limited, indicating a critical need for further research in this area. Aim: This study explores the direct and indirect factors associated with suicidality and predictors of suicidality among patients discharged from the ICU. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh, India. 315 patients were screened, and 250 adult participants were selected using convenience sampling. These participants were discharged from the medical ICU and recruited during follow-up visits to the psychiatry outpatient department between July 2021 and July 2022. Inclusion criteria encompassed individuals aged 18 years or above who had been discharged within 1 month of ICU stay and provided informed consent. Demographic and clinical variables were collected, including psychiatric diagnoses according to ICD-10 criteria. Suicidality was broadly defined to include suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts. Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for direct and indirect associations, and machine learning-based Decision Tree Classification for prediction analysis. Results: The majority of participants were aged >30 years (83.9%), female (56.4%), and from urban areas (52.8%). Significant associations with suicidality were observed for family history of mental illness ( Conclusion: This study highlights the complex interplay of clinical and psychiatric factors associated with suicidality among post-ICU patients. The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive psychiatric screening and targeted interventions for high-risk individuals during their recovery phase to mitigate suicide risk.
