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
Introduction: Suicide is among the leading causes of death among adolescents in the Caribbean, yet suicidal ideation among Bahamian adolescents remains understudied. Few studies have assessed the association between online risk behaviors, environmental factors, and suicidal ideation. This study investigated the prevalence of suicidal ideation among Bahamian adolescents and examined its multilevel correlates, including offline and online risk behaviors and environmental factors. Methods: Grade 9 students attending public schools participating in a nationwide implementation trial in The Bahamas completed a survey during 2023-2024. A total of 2,357 students participated. Data were analyzed using generalized linear mixed-effects models. Results: Approximately 46% of students reported lifetime suicidal ideation, and among those, 33% reported self-harm thoughts nearly every day in the past two weeks. Female gender, engagement in cyberbullying, sexting and certain offline risk behaviors, and depressive symptoms were associated with increased suicidal ideation, whereas parental monitoring was protective. Neighborhood risk was not associated with suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These findings underscore the urgent need for multilevel suicide prevention strategies that address online and offline risk behaviors and strengthen targeted mental health support for adolescents in The Bahamas.
