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
Suicide is a major public health concern and a leading cause of premature death, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In Indonesia, the true burden is likely underestimated due to stigma and underreporting. Evidence on suicidal ideation, an important precursor to suicide, remains limited. This study aims to identify individual and community correlates of persistent suicidal ideation among Indonesian adults using nationally representative data. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the 2018 Indonesia National Health Survey covering adults aged 18 years and older. District-level indicators were obtained from the 2018 Village Potential Statistics and regional economic data from the National Bureau of Statistics. Multivariable and multilevel logistic regression models identified individual and contextual factors associated with suicidal ideation, accounting for individuals nested within districts. Among 636,285 adults (mean age 42.5 years; 47.4% female), 0.87% reported persistent suicidal ideation in the past month. Higher community social capital (OR = 0.94; 95% CI 0.88-1.00) and district GDP (OR = 0.91; 95% CI 0.86-0.97) were associated with lower odds, while social deprivation increased risk (OR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.06-1.21). Lower odds of suicidal ideation were observed among women (OR = 0.56), married (OR = 0.65) or widowed individuals (OR = 0.77), those with higher education attainments (OR = 0.32 for university graduates), and resident of Java (OR = 0.61). Divorce (OR = 1.28), older age (OR = 1.83 for ages 65-74), chronic illness (OR = 1.56 for heart disease), and poor self-rated health (OR = 3.38) were linked to higher risk. Strengthening community social capital and reducing social deprivation are vital to prevent suicidal ideation in Indonesia. Interventions should address socioeconomic inequalities and improve access to health and social support, especially among older adults and those with chronic illness. Promoting inclusive economic growth and community resilience may help mitigate the underlying stressors contributing to suicidal thoughts.
