Grit as a Protective Predictor of Suicidality Among Patients With Breast Cancer.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveEvidence continues to accumulate indicating that grit could be a protective factor against suicidality. This study examined, over 6 months, whether each aspect of grit-consistency of interests and perseverance of effort-could be a protective predictor of suicidality in breast cancer patients and identified risk predictors for suicidality among them in a psycho-oncology clinic in a general hospital.
methodsThree linear multivariable regression models of suicidality, evaluated at the baseline, at the 3-month, and 6-month time points each, as an outcome, were fitted with the potential predictor at baseline-grit aspects-and all other significant explanatory variables from each univariable model. Each multivariable model was adjusted for age and time passed since index cancer diagnosis.
resultsOf 154 patients with complete baseline data, 88 and 63 completed the 3-month and 6-month evaluations, respectively. Consistency of interests decreased suicidality at the 6-month time point. The degree of depressive symptoms and the intensity of present pain increased suicidality at the baseline and 6-month time point and at the baseline and 3-month time point, respectively.
conclusionThese results show that consistency of interests can be a novel protective predictor of suicidality. In addition, the intensity of current pain and the severity of depressive symptoms were associated with suicidality in the short and long term, respectively. Our findings show that suicidality among patients with breast cancer are influenced by predictors on multiple levels, which appear to change over time.
