Risk of suicidal behaviors among adolescent pregnant women with early married: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundAdolescent pregnancy and early marriage are major public health issues with potential adverse mental health consequences, including suicidal behaviors (SBs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of, and the association between, adolescent pregnancy and SBs among girls aged < 19 years.
methodsThe review systematically searched databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Embase, beginning from the date of 13 June 2025. The study included any observational studies reporting the association between SBs including suicide, suicidal ideation (SI), suicide attempts (SA) and adolescent pregnancy. Meta-analysis and subgroup analyses using a random-effects model were conducted to estimate pooled prevalence and odds ratios (ORs), with I2 used to assess heterogeneity for the association between adolescent pregnancy and SI, SA, and suicide.
resultsA total of 12 studies involving 125,551 pregnant adolescent women were included. The pooled estimate and 95% CIs for the prevalence of SI and SA were 14% (9% - 19%) and 6% (5% - 8%), respectively. Furthermore, subgroup meta-analysis by region indicated that the pooled estimate for the prevalence of SA is 10% (5% - 16%) for Asia, 3% (2% - 3%) for India and Africa, and 6% (1% - 10%) for developed countries. The pooled OR and 95% CI for the risk of SI was OR = 1.63 (1.21-2.05), for SA it was OR = 1.99 (1.16-2.83), and for suicide, it was OR = 1.43 (1.40-2.24) in pregnant adolescents compared to pregnant women aged over 19 years.
conclusionFindings indicated that adolescent pregnancy was associated to an increased risk of SBs. Additionally, the pooled estimate for the prevalence of SI and SA among adolescent pregnant mothers is higher than that in the general population, as well as among unmarried teenage girls and young women.
