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
Aim: Suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents. Several studies have reported higher suicidal ideation (SI) rates in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than in those without ASD; however, risk factors for SI remain unclear, especially among adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to SI among junior high school students with ASD in Japan. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study of junior high school students who visited the Center for Child Health, Behavior, and Development, Ehime University Hospital. Medical records from April 2015 to March 2022 were examined. Participants completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and General Health Questionnaire 30 (GHQ30), while their parents completed the Autism Screening Questionnaire, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale, and Social Responsiveness Scale. SI was assessed using item 28 of the GHQ30: "make away with yourself." Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed with SI as the dependent variable. Results: Participants were categorized into ASD ( Conclusion: Approximately 40% of junior high school psychiatric outpatients had SI, irrespective of autistic tendencies. Our study suggests the importance of enhancing peer connectedness among students with ASD who experience SI.
