Cultural factors and suicide: A proposal for taxonomy.
Review in Preventive medicine reports, 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
Objective: To review how suicide researchers have defined "culture" or "cultural factors," identify those linked to suicidality, and propose an operational taxonomy. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR and JBI guidelines. Searches in Scopus (from 1996) and Web of Science (from 1900) up to 20 May 2023 included reviews (papers labeled as reviews by these databases) meeting at least one of two criteria: describing the impact of culture or cultural factors on suicidality and/or providing a definition of these terms or related variables. Data extraction covered review characteristics, definitions, and cultural factors. Results: Eighteen reviews met inclusion criteria. Only two defined "culture" and one defined "cultural factors." Sixty-seven distinct variables were identified as cultural factors linked to suicidality; the most frequently cited were gender, familism and acculturation. A hierarchical taxonomy is proposed distinguishing community-level and individual-level factors. The former includes group-specific characteristics that contribute to define a common baseline risk of suicide for all the members of the group. Individual-level factors mainly include those involving person-environment conflicts. Conclusions: Conceptual heterogeneity and lack of measurable definitions hinder comparability across studies and limit intervention design. Consensus definitions and stronger collaboration with anthropology are essential to advance understanding and prevention.
