Trends of Parasuicide in Adolescents: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
background"Parasuicide is referred to as an act with the nonfatal outcome, in which an individual deliberately initiates a nonhabitual behaviour that without intervention from others, will cause self-harm." Suicide is the leading cause of death among individuals aged 15-19 years. Because existing data indicate that non-fatal suicidal behaviour is the strongest predictor of suicide, the lack of non-fatal suicidal behaviour records presents a major gap in our understanding of the number of non-fatal cases and the dimensions of suicide.
objectiveTo know the methods used in parasuicide and to identify the risk factors.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted at the casualty of AIIMS, Bhubaneswar. It included 105 adolescents who attempted parasuicide. Data were collected on various factors and trends associated with parasuicide and analysed.
resultsAdolescents aged between 15 and 19 years had a higher propensity for parasuicide. Gender-wise assessment showed that most of them were females (62.8%). The most commonly used method was self-poisoning (73.3%). Mass media exposure showed that mobile phones (69.5%) were one of the essential contributing factors. Academic issues (51.43%) were one of the common reasons behind the attempts. There was a slight decrease in the count of cases presenting to casualty with parasuicidal attempts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The various methods to attempt parasuicide used were significantly different in individuals with diverse academic backgrounds (p=0.04).
conclusionParasuicide needs more focus and attention, which can be detrimental in preventing any future attempts of suicide.
