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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAdolescent psychiatric inpatient units play a critical role in the management of severe psychiatric disorders and suicide risk. However, limited evidence exists regarding the clinical and familial factors that simultaneously influence suicidal ideation and treatment outcomes in hospitalized adolescents. This study aimed to identify demographic, diagnostic, and clinical predictors of suicidal ideation and clinical improvement among adolescents hospitalized in a tertiary child and adolescent psychiatry inpatient unit.

methodsThis retrospective observational study included 75 adolescents aged 12-18 years who were hospitalized in a tertiary child and adolescent psychiatry inpatient unit between November 2023 and June 2025. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were obtained from medical records. Clinical improvement was evaluated using the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale. Group comparisons were conducted using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of suicidal ideation and clinical improvement.

resultsClinical improvement was evaluated in the full sample of adolescents (n = 75), and longer length of stay was independently associated with clinical improvement during hospitalization. Among adolescents admitted with suicidal ideation (n = 45), major depressive disorder, previous suicide attempt, irritability at admission, and fewer siblings were identified as independent predictors of suicidal ideation. In addition, female adolescents had higher rates of suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury, whereas psychotic disorders were more common among male adolescents.

conclusionsSuicidal ideation in hospitalized adolescents is strongly associated with affective pathology and prior suicidal behavior. Longer inpatient treatment duration appears to facilitate clinical improvement. These findings highlight the importance of early suicide risk stratification and adequate treatment duration in adolescent psychiatric inpatient care.
