Interrelationships between suicide risk, childhood abuse, depression, hopelessness, and social support in treatment-naïve adolescent depression patients: a network analysis.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundSuicide caused by depression in adolescents is a major global public health challenge, but the assessment of suicide risk in this population remains inadequate. This study aims to use network analysis to examine the interrelationships between suicide risk, childhood abuse, depression, hopelessness, and social support in treatment-naïve adolescent depression patients.
methodThe study included 518 treatment-naïve adolescent depression patients aged 10-18 (393 females and 125 males). General patient information was collected, and assessments were conducted using the Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Adolescent Social Support Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Beck Hopelessness Scale. Network analysis was performed using R language to examine the correlations between various factors, and the centrality and stability of the network structure were tested.
resultsIn this network structure, emotional abuse showed the strongest edge with suicide risk. Furthermore, hopelessness, sleep duration, and depression were also linked to suicide risk.
conclusionsChildhood trauma experiences, especially emotional abuse, are strongly associated with suicide risk in treatment-naïve adolescent depression patients.
