Cultural Considerations in Suicide Risk Assessment with Immigrant and Refugee Populations in Canada.
Review in Transcultural 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
A suicide risk assessment (SRA) may predict and, in turn, prevent suicide; however, its efficacy is contingent upon assumptions that are built in to psychometrics and other tools with which risk is measured. In Canada, where multiculturalism is a celebrated part of national identity, specific populations including immigrants and refugees may be underserved by standard SRA protocols. Indeed, immigrant populations from minority cultures may express suicidality differently from non-immigrants in Canada and other Western countries. Here, we review the impact of culture on suicide and self-harm among immigrant populations within the historical and contemporary contexts of the Canadian healthcare system. We offer actionable recommendations such as the translation of SRA tools, standardization on relevant populations, and the inclusion of cultural factors in testing that can improve current SRA protocols, and discuss the implications of increased cultural awareness among clinicians.
