Risk factors for pre-adolescent onset suicidal behavior in a high-risk sample of youth.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo identify risk factors for preadolescent onset suicidal behavior compared with adolescent/young adult onset suicidal behavior in a longitudinal sample of youth with parental history of mood disorders.
methodsThe sample includes 545 youth who were age 21 years or less at the time of their baseline assessment. Participants underwent baseline and yearly study assessments. Observations were censored at the time point closest to the first episode of suicidal behavior for youth with suicidal behavior and at the time of last observation for youth without suicidal behavior. Youth were categorized into 3 groups: first onset of suicidal behavior before the age of 13 (n = 32), first onset of suicidal behavior between the ages of 13-21 (n = 51) and those without suicide related behaviors (n = 462). ANOVA, Chi-square, Fisher's exact test and multinomial regression were used to test the hypotheses.
resultsSignificant predictors of preadolescent onset suicidal behavior were diagnosis of depressive disorder (RRR = 11.41, p<.001) and diagnosis of ADHD (RRR = 2.86, p = .02). Adolescent onset was predicted by diagnosis of depressive disorder (RRR = 4.12, p = .008), female sex (RRR = 2.68, p = .02) and self-reported suicidal ideation (RRR = 1.48, p = .004). LIMITATIONS: These results are most applicable to offspring of parents with significant mood disorders.
conclusionsThe strongest predictor of suicidal behavior in both groups was a diagnosis of depressive disorder, and the risk was nearly 3 times higher in preadolescents. ADHD was a significant predictor only for preadolescents, while female sex and self-reported suicidal ideation predicted suicidal behavior in adolescents.
