Cognitive anxiety sensitivity: Invariance, longitudinal course, and associations with suicide risk in a large military sample.
Article in Psychological assessment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examined cognitive anxiety sensitivity's invariance, longitudinal course, and associations with suicidal thoughts and attempts within a large military sample (N = 1,147). First, multiple group confirmatory factor analyses assessed the latent structure of cognitive subscale from the anxiety sensitivity index (ASI-C) by group (i.e., Active Military/Veterans and men/women). Second, free-loading latent growth curve modeling assessed the stability of cognitive anxiety sensitivity across each group over four time points. Third, multiple linear regressions tested if cognitive anxiety sensitivity at the previous time point predicted suicidal thoughts and number of attempts at the following study visit, above and beyond previous suicidal thoughts, generalized anxiety, and thwarted belongingness and beyond previous lifetime attempts, respectively. The ASI-C displayed a very well-fitting unifactorial structure and metric invariance across all groups. Overall, cognitive anxiety sensitivity appeared to significantly decrease over time across all groups, significantly more so for Active Military personnel than for Veterans and significantly more so for women than for men. Cognitive anxiety sensitivity predicted future suicidal thoughts at Time Point (T) 4 above and beyond control variables among Active Military and T2 and T3 among men but not for Veterans or women. Further, cognitive anxiety sensitivity predicted future suicide attempts at T3 beyond control variables among Active Military, Veterans, and men but was not for women. Findings suggest that cognitive anxiety sensitivity is worth including in suicide risk screening and, due to its malleability, may be a viable treatment target to reduce suicide risk among Active Military and Veteran men.
