Suicidal Ideation After Hip Fracture in Older Adults.
Article in Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society, 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
objectivesA disabling medical event, such as a hip fracture, can cause psychological destabilisation and increase suicide risk. This study aimed to estimate incident suicide ideation (SI) within 1 year after a hip fracture and identify psychosocial predictors of SI and associations with functional recovery.
methodsA secondary analysis was conducted with data from a longitudinal study of risk factors for late-life depression after hip fracture. Four hundred and ninety-four patients with hip fracture and without prior clinical depression, and a comparison sample of 102 healthy community-dwelling older adults, were included in analyses. Participants were interviewed with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, which includes an item assessing SI at eight timepoints after hip fracture.
resultsSI was endorsed by 14.8% (73) of patients versus 5.9% (6) healthy controls during the year after hip fracture. Suicidal thoughts were commonly passive and transient. Older age (OR = 1.04) and higher perceived stress (OR = 2.07) uniquely predicted SI. Function was associated with SI immediately after the fracture and 6-12 months later.
conclusionFindings suggest that there are vulnerable periods for SI after a hip fracture, particularly for people who experience high stress. The relationship between SI and function is strongest 6-12 months after a fracture.
