1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdolescence is marked by significant developmental changes and an increased risk for depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of interpersonal needs (i.e., thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness) on depressive symptom severity and suicidal ideation in early adolescents, with a focus on the moderating effects of sex and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) status.

methodsParticipants were 341 early adolescents (ages 10-12; 52.2 % female, 47.8 % male), approximately half of whom met diagnostic criteria for ADHD (48.7 %; n = 166). ADHD was established using a semi-structured diagnostic interview administered to caregivers, and adolescents completed ratings of depression and interpersonal needs and were administered an interview assessing history of suicidal ideation.

resultsResults indicated that higher levels of thwarted belongingness were associated with depressive symptom severity and suicidal ideation, particularly among females with ADHD compared to females without ADHD or males with or without ADHD. Perceived burdensomeness also predicted depressive symptom severity and suicidal ideation, though its interaction with sex and ADHD was not significant.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of addressing interpersonal needs in early adolescents, especially for females with ADHD, to mitigate the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts.
