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
Youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and other diverse sexual and gender identities (LGBTQ+) experience disproportionately high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors compared to heterosexual and cisgender peers, yet many face barriers to care. Data came from a national online survey of 18,663 LGBTQ+ youth aged 13-24 years in the United States (September-December 2023). Analyses focused on participants who reported wanting mental health care in the past year and assessed access, barriers, service modalities and suicidal ideation/attempts. Half of LGBTQ+ youth who wanted mental health care did not receive it. The most common barrier was fear of talking about mental health concerns (42%). Among those who received care, one-on-one therapy was most common (69% in-person and 53% online). Suicidal ideation was lower among youth in therapy (46% in-person and 40% online) compared to those using crisis lines (75%). After adjusting for demographics, hotline use remained strongly associated with elevated risk: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.77 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.11-4.56) for suicidal ideation; aOR = 3.21 (95% CI: 2.62-3.94) for attempts. Despite strong willingness to seek care, structural and identity-related barriers leave many needs unmet. Expanding culturally competent services is essential to reducing suicide risk.
