Attitudes Toward Suicide Are Associated With Lifetime History of Depressive Symptoms and Suicide Attempts Among Entertainment Industry Workers in South Korea.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveEntertainment industry workers (EIWs) face unique psychosocial stressors, yet systematic research on the psychological contributors to their suicide risk is scarce.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey of 491 adult EIWs in South Korea (55.0% male; 75.2% aged 20-49 years) assessed lifetime history of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and attitudes toward suicide using the 20-item Attitudes Toward Suicide Scale (ATTS-20). Associations between ATTS-20 subfactors and mental health outcomes were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and multivariable logistic regression adjusted for key covariates.
resultsLifetime prevalence of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts was 72.5%, 53.8%, and 13.4%, respectively. In adjusted models, lifetime history of depressive symptoms and lack of social support were significantly associated with both lifetime suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.20-5.89; aOR=2.57, 95% CI: 1.52-4.43, respectively) and suicide attempts (aOR=4.95, 95% CI: 1.88-17.10; aOR=2.67, 95% CI: 1.44-4.96, respectively). Regarding ATTS-20 factors, "permissiveness" and "unpredictability" were significantly associated with lifetime history of depressive symptoms (aOR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.22-2.30; aOR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.12-1.97, respectively) in multivariable analysis. Notably, the "relation-caused" factor (believing suicide is triggered by external relational problems) was significantly associated with suicide attempts (aOR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.01-2.00).
conclusionThis study found high prevalence of lifetime depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts among South Korean adult EIWs. In multivariable adjusted models, attitudes toward suicide of EIWs were associated with their lifetime depressive symptoms and suicide attempts.
