The relationship between college students' Suicidal ideation and rejection sensitivity: a network analysis.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundRejection sensitivity has a controversial impact on suicidal ideation. However, previous studies have always assessed the relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation as a whole based on total scores, which has obscured the fine-grained relationship between them.
objectivesThe present study aims to investigate the fine-grained relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation in college students based on network analysis, and to provide a theoretical basis for identifying potential targets for psychological intervention on suicidal ideation.
methodsA total of 663 Chinese college students aged 19-28 years from Xian were investigated in an online study. The Tendency to Expect Rejection Scale (TTERS) and Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS) were selected to investigate rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation. Rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation networks were constructed using R4.1.1 software to examine the links between the dimensions and to calculate the bridge expected influence (BEI) of each node.
resultsThe prevalence of suicidal ideation among college students was 5.6%. The rejection sensitivity and suicide ideation network contained 23 cross-community edges, with the strongest one being the connection between S3 "Despair" and R17 "No confidence". Within the suicidal ideation community, S3 "Despair" had the highest positive BEI value (0.50). In the rejection sensitivity community, R17 "No confidence" exhibited the highest positive BEI value (0.26), whereas R13 "Sense of collectivity" had the highest negative BEI value (-0.08).
conclusionsComplex correlation pathways exist between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation. The bridge centrality indicators identified in this study serve as guides for relevant personnel to implement targeted interventions, thereby effectively preventing and mitigating the emergence and persistence of suicidal ideation among college students.
