Psychopathy facets and suicide risk among violently injured adults.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Suicide risk remains difficult to predict, particularly among populations exposed to interpersonal violence. Although psychopathic traits have been linked to suicidal behavior, emerging evidence suggests these associations vary across psychopathy domains. The present study examined whether overall psychopathy and specific psychopathy facets were associated with suicide risk among violently injured adults. Methods: Participants were 458 violently injured adults (72% male; Results: After controlling for age, sex, race, PTSD, and substance use, total psychopathy was positively associated with suicide risk. When psychopathy facets were examined, only the Lifestyle facet emerged as a significant independent predictor of suicide risk. Sex did not moderate associations between psychopathy and suicide risk. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the association between psychopathy and suicidality in violence-exposed populations may be more strongly related to traits reflecting behavioral dysregulation and impulsivity than to other psychopathy domains. Lifestyle-related psychopathic traits may be associated with greater suicide vulnerability through elevated impulsivity and increased engagement in risk-taking during periods of distress. Results highlight the importance of examining psychopathy as a multidimensional construct and suggest that externalizing personality traits may represent one potential pathway associated with suicide risk among violently injured adults.
