Are Positive Mental Health and Social Support Protective Factors in the Development of Suicidal Ideation in Chronic Pain? A Longitudinal Study.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 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
backgroundThe "integrated motivational-volitional (IMV) model of suicidal behavior" links the development of suicidal ideation (SI) to feelings of defeat and entrapment. Positive mental health and social support appear to be protective in this process. Both were tested as moderating factors between entrapment and SI in the at-risk group of persons living with chronic pain (PLCP).
methodsN = 285 PLCP participated in an online survey, n = 161 again at a 4-week follow-up. Generalized linear models tested whether positive mental health and social support moderated associations between both internal and external entrapment and SI, cross-sectionally. Further, both entrapment facets, positive mental health, social support and their interactions were tested as predictors of change for SI, longitudinally.
resultsCross-sectionally, only positive mental health moderated the relationship between both entrapment facets and SI. Longitudinally, none of the factors or their interaction were able to predict change in SI over 4 weeks.
conclusionThis study confirmed entrapment as a proximal risk factor for SI in PLCP. It further supports positive mental health buffering the impact of entrapment on SI. However, these factors could not predict change in SI over 4 weeks. This study underlines a need for (micro)longitudinal studies on this topic.
