Registered adolescent suicide mortality in Colombia, 2015-2024: a Bayesian spatiotemporal mapping study.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 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
purposeTo describe temporal and geographic variation in registered adolescent suicide mortality in Colombia and its ecological association with multidimensional poverty.
methodsThis nationwide ecological study analyzed 4,234 presumed suicide deaths at ages 10-19 during 2015-2024 from the national forensic register (INMLCF). Bayesian Poisson models smoothed rates across neighboring departments and years. Aggregate rates combined four sex-age strata. Separate national vital-statistics (DANE) analyses compared suicide-coded deaths with two scenarios including undetermined intent.
resultsMale-to-female rate ratios (RRs) were 2.00 (95% credible interval [CrI] 1.86-2.15) at ages 15-19 and 1.05 (0.93-1.18) at ages 10-14. Total posterior rates were 4.54 (4.22-4.87) per 100,000 in 2015 and 5.23 (4.86-5.60) in 2024; no adjacent-year change had a 95% CrI excluding zero. Putumayo, Arauca and Amazonas exceeded 10 per 100,000 in 2024. Fifteen INMLCF departments had a probability > 0.95 of rates above the national comparator in all ten years. The pooled Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) RR per standard deviation was 0.84 (0.74-0.94). Including usable DANE undetermined-intent deaths increased the strict count by 22.18%; the expanded pooled MPI RR was 1.04 (0.93-1.17).
conclusionRegistered mortality varied by age, sex and department. MPI associations and geographic classifications depended on registration source and case definition. The findings do not establish protection from poverty and support strengthening adolescent surveillance and death classification.
