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

Introduction: Suicide is a significant public health concern and the second leading cause of death in adolescents and young adults. This study sought to better understand differences in demographic and clinical characteristics of young people who attempted suicide during three phases of this developmental period: late adolescence (14-17 years), emerging adulthood (18-25 years), and young adulthood (25-29 years). Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics, including suicide attempt and hospital encounter details, were collected from the Electronic Health Record of 1706 patients ages 14-29 who presented to an academic healthcare system in the Midwestern United States between 2008 and 2023 after a suicide attempt. Differences between age groupings were examined using Chi-square tests and one-way ANOVAs. Results: Overall, patients were an average age of 18.86 years old (SD = 4.19) with a majority identifying as white (75.5%), female (68.3%), cisgender women (63.5%). Significant differences in demographic and clinical characteristics were found across age groups, including: gender, race, sex, attempt method, length of hospital stay, suicide risk assessment, and discharge disposition. Of note, despite endorsing higher levels of suicide risk severity, emerging adults were disproportionately determined to be at a moderate risk level and had shorter lengths of stay in the hospital. Discussion: Findings expand upon literature that distinguishes emerging adulthood as a distinct developmental period from adolescence and adulthood, in addition to highlighting the complexities of identifying and managing suicide risk during this developmental period. Implications point toward the need to tailor suicide prevention approaches for emerging adults, target implementation efforts to specifically reach this population, and ensure resources are provided in alignment with their developmental needs.
