Gender in suicide prevention in adolescents and young adults: 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
backgroundSuicidal behaviour in adolescents and young adults (AYA) continues to be a major global concern. The concept of gender has emerged as a pivotal element in public health and for research institutions. The objective was to assess the current use of a gendered approach in suicide prevention for AYA.
methodTo that aim we conducted a systematic review of suicidal behaviour prevention programs and mobilised the gender transformative framework for health promotion developed by Pederson et al. [1].
resultsThe 133 included papers were distributed along a continuum with the majority of them being gender-blind (49%). A noteworthy proportion of the papers could be categorised as gender sensitive at varying degrees (41%). The gender specific studies (8%) had the most gender-related content, with three studies incorporating gender transformative elements (2%). The study reveals that the integration of gender remains limited, with a predominant focus on the differences between young women and men. The gender studies are not included in the theoretical basis of the interventions.
conclusionsTherefore, we argue that integrating a gender perspective necessitates the incorporation of novel bodies of literature and theoretical discussion, as evidenced in critical suicide studies. Consequently, the content of the preventive programs and the professional positioning in light of gender and intersectional frameworks represent a subject of particular interest. The integration of a multifaceted gender definition within the evaluation design could prove advantageous. In the end, the gender transformative method provides some interesting elements to incorporate new frameworks for suicide in future prevention research.
