Increasing Safety Plan Use and Reducing Suicidal Ideation Among Emerging Adults: A Pilot Randomized Trial of the STARS Intervention.
Trial report in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05018143 (Suicide Prevention Intervention for Vulnerable Emerging Adult Sexual Minorities), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionEmerging adult sexual and gender minorities (EA-SGM) experience disproportionately high rates of suicide. The Safety Planning Intervention can reduce suicide risk, but its effectiveness for this population may be limited without additional support. The Supporting Transitions to Adulthood to Reduce Suicide (STARS) program was developed to address this gap by integrating a mobile application and peer mentorship to promote consistent Safety Plan use.
methodsParticipants (n = 64) were randomized to receive either SPI alone or SPI plus STARS. Participants were followed for 6 months.
resultsSTARS was highly acceptable and associated with significantly greater use of the Safety Plan at 2 months compared to SPI alone. While both groups demonstrated significant reductions in suicidal ideation over time, participants in STARS showed sustained nonsignificant improvements through 6 months, whereas SPI alone experienced a slight increase after 4 months. STARS participants used their Safety Plan significantly more frequently than SPI alone (39% vs. 15% for monthly use) at 2 months.
conclusionsSTARS is a feasible and acceptable intervention that enhances Safety Plan engagement and longer-term reductions in suicidal ideation among EA-SGM. These promising findings provide preliminary support for a fully powered effectiveness trial to evaluate STARS' outcomes.
