1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Prior research on relationship stress and suicidal ideation has relied primarily on cross-sectional designs, limiting understanding of daily fluctuations and within-person processes. This study examined associations between relationship stress and suicidal ideation through the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide using a 10-day daily diary design. Participants (N = 84) were adults in romantic relationships reporting depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. Multilevel modeling revealed that individuals with higher average relationship stress reported higher levels of perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belonging, and suicidal ideation. Within-person analyses showed that on days with elevated relationship stress, participants experienced same-day increases in burdensomeness, thwarted belonging, and suicidal ideation, but no next-day effects. Mediation analyses demonstrated that perceived burdensomeness mediated the same-day association between daily relationship stress and suicidal ideation. Findings suggest that relationship stress contributes to suicidal ideation by intensifying feelings of being a burden. Results support couple-focused interventions addressing relationship stress and perceived burdensomeness to reduce suicide risk.
