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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesOlder adults have high rates of suicide, but there is little research on age-specific correlates of suicide. The purpose of this study was to examine risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation and attempts across adult and older adult age groups in a racially diverse sample.

methodsUsing a cross-sectional analysis of California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data from 2021 to 2024 (

resultsApproximately 19% of the sample reported lifetime suicidal ideation, and 6% reported lifetime attempts. Psychological distress, childhood exposure to household mental illness or suicidality, and poor self-rated health were risk factors across all age groups, with associations strengthening with age. Among those with lifetime ideation, these risk factors showed even larger associations in older adults. Protective factors included indicators of sociodemographic vulnerability.

conclusionsSuicide risk and protective factors differ substantially across older adulthood. Findings highlight the need for tailored interventions and integration of suicide screening into primary care for older adults.
