Suicide attempt in the absence of suicide ideation: Prevalence and correlates among youth detained in the juvenile legal system.
Article in Journal of affective disorders, 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
objectiveSuicide rates are 2-3 times higher among youth detained (YD) in the legal system than youth in the general population. Risk assessment strategies, including for YD, prioritize suicide ideation based on a sequential progression from ideation to attempt. However, intriguing data from adult samples document that some people who attempt suicide deny experiencing ideation. This study presents the first data on variables associated with the absence of ideation among YD who attempt suicide.
methodOur sample included N = 427 youth detained in juvenile legal residential programs endorsing a lifetime suicide attempt. Youth mental health history, suicide ideation and attempt history, and adverse childhood experiences were assessed.
results171 youth (40.0 %) endorsing a lifetime suicide attempt denied a history of suicide ideation. Compared to youth reporting ideation, youth denying ideation had significantly lower rates of depression, somatic complaints, and neglect, and a significantly higher rate of anger/irritability.
conclusionAssessment strategies that prioritize suicide ideation likely fail to identify a substantial number of YD who are at risk of attempt. Anger/irritability may be a promising variable for inclusion to improve risk assessment strategies. Implications for theory advancement and prevention in YD are discussed.
