Cortisol Regulation among Women Who Experience Suicidal Ideation during Pregnancy.
Article in Journal of affective disorders reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Suicidal thoughts occur in up to one third of pregnant women. Suicidal ideation (SI) has been linked to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation in other populations and could underlie SI during pregnancy when the HPA axis undergoes gestational transformation. However, no studies have evaluated the HPA axis in prenatal suicide risk, including regulation of cortisol. We examined whether SI is associated with distinct features of cortisol regulation among women during the 3 Methods: Sixty-four women completed measures of SI and provided 8 saliva samples across 2 consecutive days for cortisol assay. Three cortisol metrics were assessed in separate linear regression models (awakening response, diurnal slope, and area under the curve), along with selected covariates. Results: Women with SI ( Limitations: The small number of women with SI may have reduced the power to detect significant effects. Conclusions: Findings for women with SI differ from the expected pattern of cortisol secretion across the day and indicate circadian rhythm dysfunction. Further research can build on these results to clarify mechanisms underlying perinatal suicidality, with improved assessment and intervention targets as the goal.
