The Sleep Symptoms Are Directly Associated With Suicide Risk in Adolescents and Youth Patients With Depression.

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
Background: Multiple studies on adults have shown that depressive symptoms are the main contributing factors to suicide risk, and sleep symptoms are a major risk factor for depression. However, the associations between the three in adolescents have not been thoroughly studied. This study aims to examine the independent impact of sleep symptoms on suicide risk in adolescent depression and how this impact varies by age. Methods: Adolescent and youth (ages 13-25) depressed patients were included based on a depression cohort. Sleep symptoms were assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), depressive symptoms using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), and suicide risk using the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI). A mediation model was employed to distinguish direct associations from pathways mediated by depression, with age as a moderator. Results: Among 744 depressed patients (mean age 18.31, 76.6% female), insomnia ( Conclusions: Sleep symptoms (insomnia and hypersomnia) directly elevate suicide risk, exerting a stronger influence than depressive symptoms. This association is most pronounced in younger patients, particularly early adolescents (≤15 years), highlighting the critical need for early, sleep-focused interventions in youth suicide prevention.
