Association Between Employment Status and Suicidal Ideation in Korean Adults.

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
objectiveEmployment status is a key indicator of socioeconomic status, and unstable employment conditions can cause various social problems. However, research in Asian populations on the association between employment status and mental health, particularly suicidal ideation, remains relatively limited. This study investigated the association between employment status and suicidal ideation in general population in South Korea.
methodsUsing data from the 2015, 2017, and 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 6,509 participants aged ≥20 years were analyzed. Suicidal ideation was characterized by individuals considering suicide seriously within the past year. Covariates were adjusted to account for factors such as sociodemographic, health behavior, and mental health factors. Multivariable logistic regression was performed, along with stratified analyses by subgroups of sociodemographic, health behavior, and mental health factors to assess effect modification.
resultsIn our KNHANES data analysis, unemployed individuals had 1.85 times higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation compared to employed individuals (adjusted odds ratio, 1.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.41-2.44; p<0.001). In subgroup analysis, all covariates- except women and low body mass index-showed effect modification on the association between employment status and suicidal ideation.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that unemployed status was significantly associated with increased suicidal ideation. These findings suggest that further research and policy attention are warranted to better understand and address the mental health needs of unemployed individuals.
