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

backgroundThis study assessed social determinants in urban and rural nationalities to identify regional factors associated with mental health and suicide.

methodsData on 32 variables representing regional characteristics (sociodemographic, health and welfare, environmental, economic, and mental health status including suicide mortality) were collected at the municipal level (si/gun/gu) between 2017 and 2021. For the purpose of analysis, regions were categorized as urban (comprising "si" and "gu") and rural (comprising "gun"); and correlations were examined between stress perception rate, depressive mood experience rate, prevalence of depressive symptoms, and suicide rates. Simple linear regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were done.

resultsStress perception, depressive mood experience, and depressive symptom prevalence were higher in urban areas whereas suicide rates were higher in rural areas. Positive correlations were observed between stress, depressive mood, and depressive symptoms in both urban and rural areas (

conclusionThe findings reveal distinct patterns in the relationships between stress, depression, and suicide between urban and rural areas. These results underscore the need for tailored suicide prevention policies and mental health interventions that address the unique characteristics of each region.
