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

Suicidality phenotypes, including suicidal ideation (SI), non-fatal suicide attempt (SA), and suicide death (SD), are heritable and exhibit both shared and phenotype-specific genetic influences. Using genomic structural equation modelling, we estimated the shared genetic architecture across GWAS of SI (176,147 cases, 1,010,300 controls), SA (53,919 cases, 1,063,988 controls), and SD (7,584 cases, 652,070 controls) and conducted a multivariate GWAS of a latent suicidality factor capturing their shared liability. This analysis identified 36 genome-wide significant loci, including seven not previously reported in any suicidality GWAS. Follow-up analyses identified residual genetic variance specific to each phenotype, including three SD-specific genomic risk loci. Conditioning suicidality phenotypes on genetic liability to psychiatric disorders revealed significant residual genetic variance across SI, SA, SD, and the suicidality common factor. Together, these results suggest that suicidality reflects both shared genetic liability and phenotype-specific contributions.
