Srs does not increase suicide attempts.

It’s seems to say there is no difference between groups (which is admittedly sad), but it doesn’t say it increased attempts in a statistically significant way.

Saying that it increases them based on such a negligible uptick is pretty dishonest.

[–]SnowAssMan 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

It almost doubles.

So does going from 0,000000001% to 0,000000002%. Saying that negligible upticks have "doubled" is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to misrepresenting statistics.

Are you joking? You're the one misrepresenting it when you call it negligible.You're just looking at a number that looks small to you, instead of the difference between both numbers. Suicide rates are normally not very high. Yes, 130 out of 10'000 is nearly double 70 out of 10'000. Why do you feel manipulated by accurate descriptions?

Since 0,000000009% also looks small, does that mean suicide attempts could be 9x greater after surgery & you'd still call it too "negligible" to mention?

This in no way indicates an increase in suicide attempts following surgery.

[–]SnowAssMan 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

In no way? The graph shows a slight uptick post surgery.

To me it also kind of indicates that it’s not as effective a treatment as they claim it to be.
