Clinical Outcomes Following Suicide Attempts: In-Hospital Mortality and Discharge Against Medical Advice.
Observational study in Turk psikiyatri dergisi = Turkish journal of psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveSuicide attempts remain a major public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with inhospital mortality and treatment Discontinuation Againts Medical Advice (DAMA) following suicide attempts.
methodsThis retrospective, record-based, single-center observational study included adult patients who presented to the emergency department after a suicide attempt between January 2009 and December 2024. Data were obtained from the hospital information system, medical records, and forensic notification files. Factors associated with in-hospital mortality and DAMA were evaluated using logistic regression analyses.
resultsA total of 2,909 individuals were included (mean age 30±12 years; 64.4% female). Drug ingestion was the most common suicide method (84.2%). In-hospital mortality was observed in 2.2% of cases (n=63), with the highest lethality rate (94.1%) among individuals who attempted suicide by jumping from heights of five floors or higher. In multivariable analysis, older age (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02–1.06), male sex (OR: 4.40; 95% CI: 2.29–8.43), schizophrenia (OR: 3.63; 95% CI: 1.02–12.88), and alcohol use (OR: 2.38; 95% CI: 1.34–4.24) were identified as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Discontinuation against medical advice (DAMA) occurred in 53.8% of cases (n=1,564) and was significantly associated with younger age, absence of a prior suicide attempt, and fewer psychiatric comorbidities.
conclusionsSuicide attempt aftercare should extend beyond acute medical stabilization and incorporate proactive, individualized strategies aimed at improving patient engagement and mitigating method-specific risks.
