Prospective Risk and Protective Factors for Suicide Attempts Among Black Adolescents Seeking Emergency Department Services.
Article in JAACAP open, 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
Objective: Suicide rates among Black youth have been rising at an alarming rate, with a 54% increase between 2018 and 2022. This study investigated sociodemographic, suicide-related, clinical, and interpersonal risk and protective factors of lifetime (cross-sectional) and 6-month (prospective) suicide attempt in a large sample of Black youth who visited the emergency department. Method: Data from 1,719 Black youths (girls = 1,046 [61%], mean [SD] age =14.98 [1.66] years) were obtained from the Emergency Department Screening for Teens at Risk for Suicide (ED-STARS) Study 1 cohort recruited from 13 nation-wide pediatric emergency departments (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network [PECARN]). Among 784 youths selected for follow-up interviews based on level of suicide risk, 616 (78.6%) participated in 3- and/or 6-month follow-up interviews. Univariable logistic regression models examined cross-sectional and longitudinal relations between sociodemographic, suicide-related, and other clinical and interpersonal risk and protective factors and suicide attempt. A multivariable logistic regression model predicting follow-up suicide attempt was examined. Results: Cross-sectional and follow-up univariable models found that gender identity, sexual minority status, suicidal ideation/behavior, nonsuicidal self-injury, hopelessness, depression, agitation, anxiety, sexual abuse history, level of impairment, connectedness (family, peer, school), and impulsivity predicted suicide attempt. The final multivariable model included lifetime suicidal behavior, baseline suicidal ideation in the past week, impulsivity, and all forms of connectedness (area under the curve = 0.91, 95% CI 0.87-0.95) as predictors of suicide attempt, although impulsivity and social/school connectedness were nonsignificant predictors that were retained for improved fit indices. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of suicide-related factors, hopelessness, functional impairment, sexual and gender minorities, and connectedness at baseline in predicting future suicide attempts in Black youth. Future work should incorporate race-related risk and protective factors.
