Sleep quality and disruptive nocturnal behaviors as short-term predictors of suicidal intent: An ecological momentary assessment study.
Article in Journal of psychiatric research, 2025. 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
backgroundEmerging research suggests that poor sleep quality and some disruptive nocturnal behaviors (DNBs) may be advance markers of short-term worsening in suicidal intent. However, relationships between many types of DNBs and suicide risk have not been examined, and whether DNBs provide useful information apart from sleep quality in predicting suicidal intent is unknown. This study addressed these critical knowledge gaps by examining associations between sleep quality, DNBs, and next-day suicidal intent in a community sample of adults.
methodsA sample of 237 adults with severe suicidal ideation provided daily indices of sleep quality and DNBs, and suicidal intent 6 times per day for 2 weeks via ecological momentary assessment. Linear mixed models and general linear models were conducted to examine relationships between sleep quality and DNBs with measures of average severity of suicidal intent and fluctuations in intent over time.
resultsPoor sleep quality and specific DNBs (sleep disruptions due to general nervousness, trauma-related memories and/or nightmares interrupting sleep, and non-trauma-related anxiety or panic) predicted more severe suicidal intent in multivariate models. Only poor sleep quality predicted within-day variability in suicidal intent.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that monitoring sleep quality and specific DNBs may be a useful indicator of short-term risk for worsening in suicidal intent.
