A multiple-methods exploration of the "school-to-suicide pipeline".
Article in BMC public health, 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
introductionSuicide among Black youth is a public health concern. "Being Black" is not a risk factor for suicide; rather, sociocultural factors and social determinants of health influence suicidal behavior among Black youth. Factors related to the school environment are critical in understanding and preventing this loss of life. The purpose of this multiple-method study was to examine the historical prevalence of school interventions among Black students who went on to die by suicide in our study setting and assess the availability of mental health resources and support available to school personnel to support Black students.
methodsWe gathered school records from all county residents who died by suicide during the ten years from 2013 through 2022. We also conducted semi-structured key informant interviews with school district psychologists and social workers.
resultsA total of 293 suicide decedents were included, most of whom were Black/African American. School issues were a contributing factor to suicide for several decedents. Four qualitative themes were developed, highlighting the impact of school-based factors, and particularly exclusionary discipline, on the mental health of students. IMPLICATIONS: There is an urgent need for trauma-informed, restorative, and non-punitive approaches behavioral issues in school, particularly for minoritized students.
