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
purposeSuicidal thoughts and behaviours (STB) are common in Australia, yet many individuals do not seek clinical care. Evidence on STB and help-seeking among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations is limited. This study examined the prevalence of suicide ideation and attempts by region of birth, and patterns of formal and informal help-seeking.
methodsThis study used data from the National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing (2020-2022; N = 15,893). Prevalence of lifetime suicide ideation and attempts was estimated by region of birth. Latent class analysis identified patterns of help-seeking, and regression models examined associations between cultural factors and class membership.
resultsOverall, 16.4% of participants reported lifetime suicide ideation and 4.7% reported a suicide attempt. Prevalence was highest among Australian-born individuals and lowest among those born in South Asia. Most individuals reported low or no use of clinical services following suicide ideation (76.1%) or attempts (60.3%). Compared to Australian-born individuals, those born in East Asia and the Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa were less likely to engage in clinical help-seeking following suicide ideation. Individuals with moderate English proficiency were less likely to seek clinical care following a suicide attempt.
conclusionMost individuals with STB did not engage with clinical services, with lower use observed in some CALD groups. These findings highlight differences in help-seeking patterns across cultural and linguistic groups and suggest the importance of considering cultural and language-related factors in service engagement.
