The impact of family-related psychosocial factors on suicidal ideation among adolescents: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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
backgroundThis systematic literature review investigates the impact of family-related psychosocial factors on suicidal ideation. Adolescents experiencing family-related adversities are more likely to experience suicidal ideation. Given that adolescents are a high-risk population, understanding the nature of the impact of family-related factors is important. It would help determine and differentiate the family-specific risk and protective factors and aid in designing targeted suicide prevention strategies.
methodThe review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Systematic searches of peer-reviewed quantitative studies were conducted in Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Due to the heterogeneity of the findings, the data were analyzed using narrative synthesis. (PROSPERO registration: CRD420250625290).
resultsThe review identified 94 studies published between 1993 and March 2025. The findings indicate that adolescents who experienced hostility inside the family, lacked healthy communication with family members, had controlling parents, and dealt with mental health issues of their parents had a high risk of suicidal ideation. Those who were satisfied with their family members, experienced parental emotional support, and had authoritative parents had a low risk of suicidal ideation. DISCUSSION: The findings of the review provide insight into the diverse domains of family-related psychosocial factors holistically and highlight their dynamic nature. It suggests that some strategies, such as early diagnosis of parental mental health issues, encouraging open communication between parents and adolescents, and implementing work-life balance for parents, could help reduce suicidal ideation. The review was limited to quantitative studies; hence, further exploration of qualitative, longitudinal, and intervention-based studies may provide further understanding of familial influences on suicidal ideation in adolescents.
