[Figure 1] Regional temperature–suicide associations. The red solid line represents the relative risk (RR) of suicide mortality across temperatures for 10 regions, based on data from 751 locations across 26 countries worldwide. The shaded area indicates the 95% confidence interval, and the dotted line indicates the reference temperature — the median of each region's temperature distribution. At the reference temperature, RR equals 1.
