Detection of suicide risk using event-related potentials: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Psychoradiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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: Suicide has profound effects on individuals, families, and societies globally, underscoring the urgent need for effective early detection and prevention strategies. This systematic review aims to investigate the use of event-related potentials (ERPs) as a tool for identifying and monitoring suicide risk. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted, resulting in the inclusion of 23 articles that met the eligibility criteria. The review synthesized findings related to various ERP components associated with suicide risk. Results: The analysis revealed that individuals with a history of suicide risk exhibited significantly reduced P3 amplitudes in response to novel stimuli during the go/no-go paradigm compared to healthy controls [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [-0.96; -0.10]]. Additionally, altered P3 responses to positive feedback on rewards indicated impairments in those at risk (SMD = -1.12, 95% CI = [-1.74; -0.49]). Variability in other ERP components was also highlighted, with several moderators, such as sample characteristics and methodological design, influencing ERP components. Conclusion: The findings suggest that specific ERP components, particularly the P3, may serve as valuable indicators for assessing suicide risk. The review emphasizes the need for future research to utilize larger, more homogeneous samples and advanced analytical techniques to enhance detection accuracy. The application of ERPs is posited as a promising avenue for improving understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms associated with suicide risk and enhancing prevention efforts.
