Article in Public health challenges, 2026. 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: Although health professionals and medical students may be at higher risk for suicide due to occupational stress, academic pressure, and access to lethal methods, evidence regarding suicide among these groups in Bangladesh remains limited. Objective: To examine and compare suicide methods, locations, and reported associated factors between medical students and physicians in Bangladesh. Methods: This media-based retrospective descriptive study identified 50 suicide cases (25 medical students and 25 physicians) from Bangladeshi online news reports published between 2010 and 2025. Data on sociodemographics, suicide methods, locations, timing, and reported associated factors were extracted. Categorical variables were analyzed using chi-square or Fisher's exact test, and continuous variables using an independent samples Results: Hanging was the most common method (57.8% among cases with available method information, Conclusions: The findings suggest differences in reported associated factors between medical students and physicians in Bangladesh. Academic stress appeared more frequently among students, whereas marital discord was more commonly reported among physicians. These preliminary findings may help inform future suicide prevention initiatives targeting different career stages within the medical profession.
