No Way Out? Cognitive Rigidity and Depressive Symptoms Associated with Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Autistic Youth.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 2026. 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
Research has found increased premature mortality among autistic individuals, with suicide being one of the most common causes of premature death in autistic youth. This study aimed to fill literature gaps related to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) in autistic youth by exploring the clinical predictors of suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal and/or self-injurious behavior (SSIB) in 404 autistic youth from a clinic database. Consistent with prior literature, STB were elevated in autistic youth compared to general population rates. Self-reported suicidal ideation and behaviors were increased in autistic youth assigned female at birth. Caregivers reported greater SI in older autistic youth as compared to younger youth. Logistic regression analyses showed that elevated depressive symptoms and greater cognitive rigidity significantly increased the likelihood of SI in autistic youth. Results have important implications for understanding factors that increase the risk for suicidal ideation and behaviors in autistic youth and informing the development of responsive interventions.
