Life-history strategy, adverse environment, and justification of life-ending decisions.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Objective: Evidence remains limited regarding the interplay between childhood environment, as reflected by life-history calibration, and the current environment, as well as their combined influence on cognitive judgments about life-ending decisions. Drawing on life-history theory, the present study aims to (1) examine whether life-history trade-offs along the fast-slow continuum are associated with the subjective justification of suicide and assisted suicide (euthanasia practices), and (2) explore whether the current environment moderates this relationship. Methods: In Study 1, a vignette-based questionnaire was administered to Chinese young adults ( Results: Findings from Study 2 indicated that individuals who adopted a slow life-history strategy were less likely to subjectively justify life-ending behaviors. Furthermore, results from both studies demonstrated that the relationship between life-history strategy and the justification of life-ending decisions was moderated by current environmental adversity. Conclusion: These findings underscore the influence of life-history orientation on cognitive judgments related to life-ending decisions and highlight the moderating role of current environmental conditions. Implications for future suicide intervention programs are discussed.
