1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSuicide is an increasing public health crisis, especially impacting older adults and racial/ethnic minority groups. The aim of this study was to investigate risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation among Asian American adults by age, as well as differences in suicidal ideation and health care needs across age and subethnic groups.

designThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2021-2022 California Health Interview Survey and included adults aged 18 and older who self-identified as Asian. Measured variables included age, sex, subethnicity (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Other Asian), suicide risk factors, mental health care barriers, and protective social environment indicators. Suicidal ideation and behavioral healthcare needs (i.e., for mental illness or substance use) were the outcomes of interest.

resultsOf 7240 participants, the largest subgroups were Chinese and Filipino respondents. Older adults reported lower levels of suicide ideation and behavioral healthcare needs compared to the younger age group. Among Asian subethnic groups, Other Asian and Korean Americans reported the highest levels of suicidal ideation (23.1% and 20.7%) and behavioral healthcare needs (20.5% and 18.4%). Healthcare discrimination was uniquely associated with suicidal ideation among older Asian adults (PR 4.19, p < .001). Other risk factors included a history of intimate partner violence, household mental health history, psychological distress, chronic pain, and healthcare costs. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Findings identified significant age and subethnic differences in suicidal ideation. Despite having a lower overall risk, older Asian adults remain susceptible to healthcare discrimination and ongoing mental distress that elevates their risk for suicidality.
