Anger-Related Affect and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Clinical psychology : a publication of the Division of Clinical Psychology of the American Psychological Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Growing evidence indicates anger-related affect (i.e., anger, hostility, and irritability) is a transdiagnostic risk factor for suicide. The goal of this meta-analysis was to systematically review the literature and calculate the effect size of these relationships. Method: We examined the relationships between suicidal thoughts and behaviors and anger, irritability, and hostility with data from 107 published studies (total Results: Our analyses uncovered a moderate-sized average correlation ( Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of anger as a potential risk factor for suicide. Future research is needed to examine these relationships longitudinally and to look at different facets of anger (e.g. experience vs. expression).
