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: Depression is a common mental disorder, and current suicidal ideation (SI) is a clinically important symptom. Sleep disturbance is common in depression, but the relationship between objective sleep architecture and current SI remains unclear. This study examined associations between objective sleep structure and current SI and explored whether sleep-clinical clustering could support exploratory SI stratification. Methods: 287 patients meeting DSM-5 criteria for depressive disorder underwent clinical assessment and overnight polysomnography (PSG). Current SI was assessed using item 3 of the HAMD-17. Binary logistic regression evaluated factors associated with current SI. K-Means clustering (K = 3) was performed using standardized HAMD score, PSQI score, AHI, total awakenings, N3%, R%, and sleep efficiency. Quantitative cluster validation, sensitivity analyses excluding HAMD from clustering, and ROC-based performance metrics were additionally conducted. Results: Current SI was present in 50.52% (145/287) of patients. In the individual-variable regression model, only HAMD total score was independently associated with current SI (OR = 1.683, p < 0.001). Cluster analysis identified three subgroups with distinct current SI rates: Cluster 1 (deep-sleep dominant, 37.04%), Cluster 2 (high-arousal-apnea, 70.37%), and Cluster 3 (low-arousal-subjective insomnia, 60.80%). The K = 3 solution showed WSS = 1450.71, mean silhouette = 0.204, and Davies-Bouldin index = 1.679. In the demographic-adjusted model, membership in Clusters 2 + 3 was associated with current SI (OR = 3.152, 95% CI: 1.883-5.274, p < 0.001; AUC = 0.700, 95% CI: 0.639-0.760). When HAMD was excluded from clustering, the association remained (OR = 2.669, 95% CI: 1.598-4.458, p < 0.001), whereas additional adjustment for HAMD total score attenuated the primary cluster association (OR = 0.842, 95% CI: 0.411-1.725, p = 0.639). Conclusions: Depression severity was the primary factor associated with current SI. PSG-derived sleep-clinical clusters may help characterize heterogeneous presentations of current SI, but their incremental value beyond depressive severity should be interpreted as exploratory and validated in larger longitudinal samples.
