Biological Basis for the Formation of Suicidal Behavior: A Review.
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The article addresses one of the pivotal issues in the formation of suicidal behavior, namely the function of central and peripheral neurotransmitter systems and the mechanisms of neuroendocrine regulation. This article presents the relationship between alterations in lipid metabolism and suicidal behavior, as well as candidate genes of the serotonergic system involved in suicidal behavior. Methods: The present study is a review of a number of published completed papers by systematically searching original articles in English in the following electronic databases: PubMed, SCOPUS, Mendeley, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect between 2013 and 2023. Results: A total of 126 sources were used in the scientific literature review, covering findings from a range of disciplines, including biology, neurochemistry, anatomy, neurohormones, and serotonergic system candidate genes relevant to suicidal behavior. Conclusion: The identification of neurobiological indicators of suicidality is of significant importance for the understanding of the pathophysiology of suicidality and for the search for peripheral markers that could be utilized to clarify risk, prediction, and, ideally, suicide prevention. The findings of this review underscore the intricate biological underpinnings of suicidal behavior, underscoring that suicidality is not merely a psychological or social phenomenon but rather a complex and deeply rooted system of neurobiological processes. The review suggests that biological markers should be integrated with existing psychological assessments to create a multidimensional profile of suicide risk.
