Interpersonal Constructs in the Mediation of Early Maladaptive Schemas and Suicidal Ideation Among Outpatients With Major Depressive Disorder.

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
backgroundFour early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are known to increase suicidal ideation: defectiveness/shame, social isolation/alienation, failure, and dependence/incompetence. However, no mechanisms through which EMSs may increase suicidal ideation have been studied. We aimed to examine important mechanisms that may underlie the association between specific EMSs related to heightened suicidal ideation (defectiveness/shame, social isolation/alienation, failure, and dependence/incompetence) and present suicidal ideation in outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD) through 2 interpersonal constructs: perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness.
methodsWe conducted parallel mediation analysis for 247 outpatients with MDD to test the hypothesis that each of the four EMSs would exhibit positive correlations with suicidal ideation, while perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness would concurrently mediate these associations.
resultsPerceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness fully mediated the associations between early maladaptive schemas and suicidal ideation, with significant total indirect effects for defectiveness/shame schema (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-0.47; B = 0.38), social isolation schema (95% CI, 0.27-0.48; B = 0.37), failure schema (95% CI, 0.25-0.41; B = 0.33), and dependence/incompetence schema (95% CI, 0.23-0.40; B = 0.31), after controlling for age and sex.
conclusionThrough greater perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, outpatients with MDD with higher levels of the schemas previously known to be associated with elevated suicidal ideation were likely to exhibit a more severe level of current suicidal ideation. These findings highlight the potential benefits of including components that can reduce the severity of both interpersonal constructs in antisuicidal strategies.
