Suicide risks associated with cardiovascular disease in persons with alcohol use disorder.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposePeople with alcohol use disorder (AUD) have high risks of both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and suicide. We examined how CVD contributes to their long-term suicide risk in a large population-based cohort, which may help guide preventive interventions.
methodsA national cohort study was conducted of all 537,802 people with AUD in Sweden during 1973-2017. CVD and suicide deaths were ascertained from nationwide records through 2018. Cox regression was used to determine hazard ratios (HRs) for suicide death associated with ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, or atrial fibrillation, and a composite outcome ("any CVD"), adjusting for other mental disorders and sociodemographic factors.
resultsAny CVD was associated with a 1.4-fold risk of death by suicide (adjusted HR, 1.44; 95 % CI, 1.35-1.54). Adjusted HRs by specific comorbidities were: ischemic heart disease, 1.26 (95 % CI, 1.16-1.38); stroke, 1.45 (1.31-1.61); heart failure, 1.49 (1.31-1.69); and atrial fibrillation, 1.52 (1.36-1.70). These risks were similarly elevated in men and women.
conclusionsIn this large national cohort with AUD, CVD was associated with a ∼40 % higher risk of suicide death. Clinical care for persons with AUD should integrate mental health and prevention and treatment of CVD comorbidities to support their long-term health and survival.
