Suicide Ideation Severity and Oculomotor Avoidance of Suicide-Related Stimuli.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 2025. 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
introductionIdentifying variables linked to distinct suicide outcomes has long been among suicidology's research priorities. Cognitive theories of suicide identify attentional processes that may vary for individuals at a greater suicide risk. However, an overreliance on self-report and objective measures that are poor estimates of attention has led to mixed findings.
methodThe current study utilizes eye tracking with a novel passive viewing task to explore differences in viewing patterns for suicide- and neutral-image pairings, as a function of suicide outcomes. Young adults (N = 124, 83.9% women) were oversampled for recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and completed a series of self-report questionnaires specific to suicide history, as well as relevant covariates prior to completing the eye-tracking task.
resultsMultilevel modeling revealed that individuals with low-to-moderate ratings of past-year ideation displayed a significant decline in the amount of time spent viewing suicide images as compared to neutral images over the course of the task (oculomotor avoidance). However, the same pattern was not seen among individuals with high suicide ideation, specifically those with resolved plans and preparation. Furthermore, no differences were found between people with and without a suicide attempt history.
conclusionThese results suggest a suicide-specific disengagement bias among individuals high in suicide ideation and more specifically, resolved plans and preparation.
