Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics of Adolescents Following Suicide Attempts: A Single-Center Study From Türkiye.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 2025. 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
objectiveSuicidal behavior among adolescents has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, positioning suicide as one of the leading causes of death in this age group worldwide. Despite this growing public health concern, country-specific data remain limited, particularly in Türkiye. This study aimed to examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adolescents referred to psychiatric services following a suicide attempt in Türkiye.
methodsWe enrolled adolescents (12-18 years) who presented to the Pediatric Emergency Department after a suicide attempt and were subsequently referred to our clinic. Participants completed a Sociodemographic Data Form and underwent the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version interview to assess lifetime psychiatric diagnoses.
resultsAmong the 60 participants, 86.7% were female and 13.3% were male. The mean age was 184.7±13.6 months (range: 144-211 months). Two-thirds (66.7%) met criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder; major depressive disorder was most prevalent (41.7%). The predominant method of attempt was medication ingestion, and family conflict was identified as the leading precipitant (56.7%). A history of prior suicide attempts was reported by 40%, and 33.3% had a family history of suicide. Notably, 70% had engaged in non-suicidal self-harming behavior (SHB) before their attempt.
conclusionSuicide attempts peak during middle adolescence, and female adolescents are at higher risk. Clinicians should monitor warning signs such as a prior history of SHB. Given the high prevalence of psychiatric disorders in both these adolescents and their parents, early identification and intervention are essential to prevention.
