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

purposeTo examine the relationship between family immigration status and adolescent suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) in a population-based sample of Latino youth in California, and, to examine whether gender moderates the association between family immigration status and youth STB.

methodsUsing linked parent and adolescent data from the 2011-2019 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) (N = 3,155 adolescents self-identifying as Hispanic/Latino), we built a series of logistic regression models, calculating adjusted odds of STB and including a gender-by-family citizenship status interaction term.

results. Overall, adolescents in mixed status dyads (in which the child was a citizen and the parent child was not a citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR)), and non-citizen adolescents were less likely to report STB compared to adolescents in dyads where both parent and child were citizens (prevalence of past year suicidal ideation 3.5%, 1.6% and 7.0%, respectively). However, differences emerged by gender.

conclusionsLatino youth are not a monolith in terms of risk and protective factors for STB. Further research is needed to understand differences within Latino communities to inform suicide prevention efforts.
