1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adolescence is a critical period for the development of self-regulatory behaviors, with emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and substance use emerging as significant factors associated with self-injury and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and patterns of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts in a community-based sample of adolescents. A sample of 1526 adolescents aged 12-16 was analyzed using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), identifying two distinct behavioral profiles: the Substance Use with Non-Problematic Gaming (37.4%) profile, characterized by alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine use, and the Moderate Problematic Gaming with Minimal Substance Use (62.6%) profile, associated with problematic video game use and minimal substance use. Overall, 36% of participants reported engaging in NSSI, 27.2% reported suicidal ideation, and 3.21% reported suicide attempts within the past year. Ordinal regression analysis indicated that adolescents in the SUP group exhibited higher levels of emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and behavioral difficulties, significantly increasing their odds of suicide attempts (OR 2.24, p < 0.02). Additionally, emotional dysregulation independently doubled the risk of suicide attempts (OR 2.01, p < 0.001). This study provides a detailed risk profile for adolescent self-injury and suicide-related behaviors in school settings. Despite the limitations of a non-clinical sample, the findings underscore the importance of early prevention efforts targeting emotional dysregulation and impulsivity. Future research should consider longitudinal approaches to better understand the developmental trajectories of NSSI and suicidal behaviors in adolescents, particularly in high-risk, marginalized populations.
