Assessing Suicidal Ideation in a Community of Bangladesh: Validation of a Suicidal Ideation Scale.
Article in Indian journal of psychological medicine, 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: Surpassing the global and Bangladesh averages, Jhenaidah, a southwestern region in Bangladesh, remains one of the most prone districts for suicidal ideation and suicide rates. However, despite the higher prevalence, there is no psychometric measure available to assess the degree of suicidal ideation in this region. The present study aimed to validate the Bangla version of the Suicidal Ideation Scale (B-SIS) in Jhenaidah. Methods: We recruited 300 participants (male 50.87% and female 45.13%) via purposive sampling from six sub-districts, with an overall mean age of 23.26 (SD = 2.96). We used the B-SIS, the World Health Organisation-5 Well-being Index and the Symptom Rating Scale. Results: The scale yielded a one-factor structure with 55.58% of the total variance supported by multiple indices in confirmatory factor analysis (RMSEA = 0.061, CFI = 0.981, TLI = 0.971, SRMR = 0.035). The intraclass correlation coefficient (two-way random-effects model, absolute agreement) for average measures was 0.90 (95% CI, [0.84, 0.95]; Conclusions: The psychometric properties suggest that the B-SIS is a suitable measure to assess suicidal ideation in Jhenaidah. The study is expected to advance scholarly work in suicidology by taking Jhenaidah into account.
