Empowerment moderates risk for suicide among LGBTQ+ young adults.

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
introductionThere is a great need to examine resilience-based, modifiable protective factors of the established risk-relationship between experiences of discrimination, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among sexual and gender diverse (SGD) youth. Preliminary studies suggest that psychological empowerment shows promise as a potential protective factor. The current study evaluated whether empowerment moderated the relationship between experiences of sexual and gender discrimination, NSSI, suicide ideation, and past-year suicide attempts.
methodsThree hundred five LGBTQ + -identifying young adults completed an anonymous online survey assessing discriminatory experiences, psychological empowerment, NSSI history, past-year worst-point suicide ideation and suicide attempts. Five moderated regression models were conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.
resultsEmpowerment significantly moderated the relationship between sexual/gender-discrimination and suicide attempt as well as the relationships between suicide ideation and NSSI on past-year attempts. When empowerment was high, sexual/gender discrimination, suicide ideation, and NSSI were no longer significantly associated with past-year suicide attempts, suggesting a protective effect. Empowerment had a significant, negative relationship with both suicide ideation and NSSI frequency but did not moderate the effect of discrimination experiences on these variables.
conclusionEmpowerment appears to be a viable protective factor for suicide risk among sexual and gender diverse young adults. Interventions that promote the development of a sense of empowerment may help to reduce risk and prevent suicide within this high-risk population.
