Predicting six month follow-up of suicidal thoughts and attempts among youth with anxiety presenting to an emergency department.
Article in JCPP advances, 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
Background: Previous research has established an association between anxiety disorders and suicidal thoughts and attempts; however, much remains unknown about the role of specific anxiety symptoms, anxiety severity, and the impact of co-occurring depression and hopelessness. This study examined (a) the independent relationship between anxiety severity and suicidal thoughts and attempts, and (b) the independent relationships between different anxiety symptoms and suicidal thoughts and attempts. Additionally, we analyzed a subset of youth with anxiety symptoms to examine, (c) depression severity and hopelessness as predictors of suicidal thoughts and attempts. Methods: Participants were 2104 youth (ages 12-17) who presented to an Emergency Department (ED) from the Emergency Department Screen for Teens at Risk for Suicide (ED-STARS) cohort. Youth self-reported anxiety, depression, and hopelessness at baseline and reported suicidal thoughts and attempt at three- and/or 6-month follow-up. Among the subset of 652 youth with anxiety (≥3 on SCARED-C), depression and hopelessness were examined as predictors of suicidal thoughts and attempts. Results: Anxiety severity significantly predicted ideation at follow-up, even after accounting for demographics (race/ethnicity, sex, parental education, welfare), depression, hopelessness, and previous suicide attempts (OR = 1.08, 95% CI [1.01-1.61]). However, anxiety severity did not predict suicide attempts after accounting for depression. Specific anxiety domains were not associated with attempts, and only separation anxiety was associated with ideation (OR = 1.04, 95% CI [1.00-1.08]). Among the subset of youth reporting anxiety, depression severity was associated with suicide attempts at follow-up, (OR = 1.08, 95% CI [1.04-1.14]). Depression (OR = 1.11, 95% CI [1.08-1.15]) and hopelessness (OR = 1.03, 95% CI [1.01-1.05]) each uniquely predicted suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Anxiety severity, rather than specific anxiety domains, may drive subsequent suicidal thoughts and attempts. Among youth with anxiety, depression predicted both attempts and ideation at follow-up, whereas hopelessness predicted only ideation. Shared aspects of anxiety and depression may underlie youth suicide risk.
