Changing temporal patterns in patient-reported wish to live and wish to die signal the imminent emergence and aftermath of suicide attempts: a dynamical systems analysis.
Trial report in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExisting suicide risk screening and detection methods are unable to reliably identify who will engage in suicidal behavior (SB), and when. Modeling the "push-pull" among risk and protective processes could be useful for understanding when patients may be at increased risk for transitioning from lower to higher risk states. This study examines if changing temporal dynamics in wish to live (WTL) and wish to die (WTD) ratings, assessed during consecutively scheduled psychiatric outpatient visits, can differentiate patients who will attempt suicide and signal when suicidal behavior is about to occur.
methods78 adults with past-month suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behaviors who enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing two outpatient psychotherapies provided weekly WTL and WTD ratings assessed with the first two items of the Scale for Suicide Ideation and weekly occurrence of suicide attempts assessed with items from the Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview-Revised.
resultsSession-to-session changes in WTL and WTD were examined using multilevel regression modeling supplemented by eigenvalue decomposition analysis. Temporal patterns significantly differed over time between patients who attempted suicide versus patients who did not. Temporal patterns remained consistent over time among patients who did not attempt suicide. Among patients who attempted, temporal patterns changed from pre- to post-attempt, consistent with a state transition.
conclusionsSuicidal behaviors represent a state transition that is foreshadowed by unique temporal patterns in self-reported WTL and WTD.
