Frequency and correlates of suicidality in a sample of traumatized treatment-seeking refugees.
Trial report in BMC psychiatry, 2026. 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
introductionRefugees are at heightened risk for suicidality due to trauma exposure, elevated prevalence of mental disorders, and postmigration stressors. Therefore, it is important to study Suicidal Behavior Disorder (SBD), included in DSM-5 for research purposes, as well as correlates of suicidality in this population.
methodsIn a sample of N = 103 treatment-seeking refugees, SBD frequency was assessed using a clinical interview. Associations between suicidality (presence and severity) and potential correlates - gender, age, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Disturbances in Self-Organization (DSO), depression, insecure asylum status, flight duration, postmigration living difficulties (PMLD) and religiosity - were examined via univariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsFifteen patients (14.66%) met criteria for SBD. DSO were associated with the presence of suicidality in univariate and multivariate analyses and with the severity of suicidality in multivariate analyses. Sexual trauma frequency was associated with the presence of suicidality, while PTSD severity and lower religiosity were linked to greater suicidality severity. Depressive symptoms were associated with suicidality only in univariate analyses while an insecure asylum status was associated with suicidality in multivariate analyses only.
conclusionSuicidality should be systematically assessed in treatment-seeking refugees, particularly those with DSO or an insecure asylum status. Brief suicide prevention interventions may be warranted when treatment duration is uncertain, and targeted PTSD treatments should be offered when indicated. CLINICAL
trial registrationThe RCT was pre-registered at the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS 00019876) on 28th of April 2020. The specific research question and analyses of this investigation were not pre-registered separately.
