Defining and Assessing International Classification of Disease Suicidality Phenotypes for Genetic Studies.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Suicidality, including suicidal ideation (SI), attempt (SA), and death (SD), represents complex and partially overlapping phenotypes. This complexity contributes to study population heterogeneity in suicidality research, impeding replication efforts and data consolidation by research consortia. The standardization of suicidality definitions would help but has been insufficiently addressed in existing literature. Here, the Suicide Workgroup of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) provides International Classification of Disease (ICD) definitions, a critical real-world data source, for SA and SI. Methods: The PGC Suicide Workgroup used published definitions coupled with expert consensus to develop ICD lists to serve as suicidality phenotype definitions. One SI and two SA lists were produced and evaluated for performance against patient screening responses in two independent cohorts (N = 9,151 and 12,621) with differing ascertainment strategies. Outcomes: ICD list suicidality definitions were produced. Evaluation of generated ICD lists versus patient responses across two cohorts demonstrated varied sensitivity (15·4% to 71·1%), specificity (67·6% to 96·3%), and positive predictive values (0·57-0·92). SI ICD code performance also varied in sensitivity (29·4%-86·1%), specificity (64·2% to 90·6%), and positive predictive values (0·67 to 0·98). Interpretation: Guidelines were developed to provide more consistent and comparable suicidality definitions. However, real-world application of ICD codes leads to a wide range of performance, dependent on cohort characteristics, that will need to be carefully considered in implementation. Future efforts would benefit from consistent training in use of ICD codes between sites to improve generalizability, and should include validation in diverse populations.
