A national survey of suicidality and non-suicidal self-injury in bipolar disorder: insights from network analysis.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundThere is a high prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI), suicide attempts (SA), and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in bipolar disorder (BD). Understanding the nature of suicidality and NSSI in BD is an important way to inform optimal intervention for reducing suicide risk. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and correlates of SI, SA, and NSSI in patients with BD using data from a national survey. We used network analysis to explore the associations among suicidality, NSSI, addictive features of NSSI, and symptoms of BD.
methodsParticipants with BD were recruited from 20 research centers in China. Suicidality, NSSI, addictive features, and symptoms of BD were measured via a standardized electronic case report form. We used logistic regression and network analysis for data analysis.
resultsOf the 1,055 participants recruited, over 50% with depressive or mixed episodes had SI, more than 20% engaged in SA, and over 40% reported NSSI. The polarity of mood episodes was independently associated with SI ([hypo]mania vs. mixed episodes: odds ratio [OR] = 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14-0.33, p < 0.001) and NSSI ([hypo]mania vs. mixed episodes: OR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.19-0.58, p < 0.001; depressive episodes vs. mixed episodes: OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.35-0.98, p = 0.040). Participants with mixed episodes reported the most severe addictive features of NSSI. SI was the most influential symptom within the network model of the total sample; NSSI, SI, and depressive symptoms were identified as key "bridge symptoms".
conclusionsSuicidality and NSSI in BD were closely associated with depressive and mixed episodes, with mixed episodes showing the highest prevalence of NSSI and the most pronounced addictive features. SI was identified as the central symptom within the self-harm network, emphasizing its importance as an intervention target. These findings could offer potential insights regarding suicidality and NSSI in BD that can inform intervention strategies.
