Suicide and occupation: spatial patterns in Chapecó (SC) and contextualization of the temporal trend in the national scenario, 2006-2024.
Article in Revista brasileira de epidemiologia = Brazilian journal of epidemiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
objectiveTo analyze suicide in Chapecó (SC) in terms of temporal trends, occupation, and spatial patterns by neighborhood, comparing local data with national data.
methodsThis is an ecological study conducted in Chapecó (SC), based on deaths by suicide reported between 2006 and 2024. Suicide rates in Chapecó (SC) were standardized by age. The joinpoint regression technique was used for the temporal trend analysis. In the spatial analysis, the local empirical Bayesian suicide rate was calculated by neighborhood.
resultsA total of 392 deaths were recorded during the period in Chapecó (SC). The average standardized annual rate was 8.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. There was a significant increase over the period studied in Brazil and in Chapecó (SC) (p<0.001), with more pronounced growth in this municipality. The profession of bricklayer/construction worker was the most reported one (13.6%), followed by agricultural workers (11.0%). The extreme south and north regions of the municipality had the highest suicide rates, above 9.6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.
conclusionThere was an upward trend in suicide in the municipality during the analyzed period. The results suggest a direct association between suicide and social deprivation and point to the need for intensified prevention efforts targeting construction workers and farmers, as well as the outlying areas of the city.
