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
backgroundAlthough family members of persons with disabilities face elevated suicide risk, predictive models remain underdeveloped in Korean contexts. This study aimed to develop machine learning-based predictive models for suicidal ideation among family members of persons with disabilities and examine differential risk patterns by disability onset type.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed 124,783 adult family members (59.9% spouses, 20.3% parents/ascendants, 14.6% adult children, 5.2% extended family) from the 2018 Korean Disability and Life Dynamics Panel using survey weights. Four predictive models, including machine learning approaches, were compared using 31 variables. The dataset was divided into training (70%) and test (30%) sets, with stratified analyses comparing congenital and acquired disability groups.
resultsAmong the 124,783 family members analyzed, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) with cross-validation achieved optimal performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.875 training; 0.853 test). LASSO selected 16 of 31 variables for the total sample, with family members' depression as the strongest predictor (β=0.554), followed by disabled persons' suicidal ideation (β=0.425). Stratified LASSO analyses revealed that national basic livelihood beneficiary status was the strongest predictor for families with congenital disability (β=0.541), while family members' depression was the strongest predictor for families with acquired disability (β=0.562), demonstrating distinct predictive patterns by disability onset.
conclusionThese findings show that predictive factors differ substantially by disability onset type, indicating the need for tailored intervention approaches and offering an evidence-based foundation for targeted suicide prevention strategies.
