The Effect of Depression and Hopelessness on Suicidal Risk in Young People: The Mediating Role of Impulsivity.
Article in Clinical psychology in Europe, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Previous studies have documented that depression and hopelessness predict higher suicide risk in young people. However, the psychological mechanisms that may mediate these associations are unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of depression, hopelessness, and impulsivity on suicidal attempts and risk, and to explore the mediating role of impulsivity in these associations. Method: A total of 1,645 young people participated with a mean age of 21.604 years ( Results: The binary regression model showed that the variables BHS, BDI, and BIS explained between 33% and 49% of the variance of suicidal risk and 16% of the variance of suicide attempts. Structural equation analysis showed that impulsivity mediated the associations between depression, hopelessness, and suicidal risk, on the one hand, and mediated the associations between depression and suicide attempt, on the other hand, whose total direct and indirect effects were statistically significant. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the importance of impulsivity as the mechanism influencing interactions between mood indicators and suicidal behavior in young populations.
