Article in BMC women's health, 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
backgroundAdolescence is a key time of increased suicide risk. Parents, particularly those who identify as mothers, often face distress when their adolescent(s) attempt suicide. This study aimed to explore mothers' understandings of the challenges of living with an adolescent with a history of suicide attempts in the context of Iran.
methodsA descriptive qualitative study was conducted. Our sampling strategy was purposive. Conventional content analysis of semi-structured interviews with 22 mothers of adolescents with experience of suicide attempts was employed.
resultsThe challenges encountered were categorized into two main themes and six subcategories. Participants predominantly experienced two significant difficulties: residing within a psychologically traumatic environment and confronting both cultural and social impasses. Factors such as uncertainty about the future, apprehensions regarding childbearing, and persistent concerns about suicidal ideation contributed to the psychologically distressing context. Additionally, the convergence of deteriorating familial dynamics, heightened social isolation, and exposure to stigmatizing societal beliefs collectively operated to entrench these mothers within adverse socio-cultural vulnerabilities.
conclusionsCaring for adolescents with a history of suicide attempt(s) presents significant psychological, cultural, and social challenges for mothers. The findings of this study may inform policymakers, health administrators, and healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists, in developing strategies to enhance psychological well-being through the provision of targeted psychological services such as family therapy and counselling.
