Detailed assessment of suicidal ideation in youth with bipolar disorder versus major depressive disorder.
Article in Bipolar disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThere is a critical need to better understand the factors underlying the increased suicide risk for youth with bipolar disorder (BD) in order to develop targeted prevention efforts. This study aimed to examine differences in characteristics of suicide ideation (SI) in youth with BD compared to youth with major depressive disorder (MDD) that may be associated with increased suicide risk.
methodsOne hundred and fifty-one participants (92 MDD and 59 BD), ages 13-21, completed a diagnostic interview and clinical assessments. Lifetime symptoms of SI and SA were assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Ordinal logistic regression models were used to investigate whether the diagnostic group predicted the severity and intensity of the most severe or most common SI with the age of onset, age, and gender as covariates.
resultsCompared to MDD youth, BD youth were more likely to report experiencing more severe SI, p = 0.039, experiencing the most severe SI more frequently, p = 0.002, having less control of the most severe SI, p = 0.012, and that deterrents were less likely to stop them from acting on the most severe SI, p = 0.006.
conclusionThis study highlights differences in the severity and intensity of SI in youth with BD and suggests that youth with BD have greater difficulty inhibiting thoughts of SI which may lead to less resistance to suicide action. Findings underscore the need for a more detailed assessment of SI in youth with BD to better understand SI as a proximal risk factor for future SA and a potential target for intervention.
