Nighttime Sensory-Behavioral Activation and Admission Suicidality in Young Inpatients With Major Depressive Disorder: A Retrospective Clinical-Record Study.
Article in Suicide & life-threatening behavior, 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
introductionSuicide risk assessment during psychiatric admission may benefit from clinically observable information beyond overall depressive symptom severity. This study examined whether clinician-documented nighttime sensory-behavioral activation was associated with admission suicidality in young inpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
methodsThis retrospective study included 406 inpatients aged 15-35 years with moderate-to-severe MDD. Nighttime sensory-behavioral activation was coded as none, recurrent, or marked. The primary outcome was admission suicidality, defined as suicidal ideation or behavior during the index depressive episode. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, HAMD-17 score excluding suicide and insomnia items (Items 3-6), and documented precipitating stressor type. Severe social role impairment and thyroid indicators were secondary and exploratory outcomes.
resultsAfter adjustment, recurrent activation (OR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.17-3.43) and marked activation (OR = 1.96, 95% CI 1.12-3.43) were associated with higher odds of admission suicidality. Marked activation was associated with severe social role impairment (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.42-4.30). Thyroid indicators did not account for these associations.
conclusionNighttime sensory-behavioral activation was associated with admission suicidality and, at the marked level, severe social role impairment. These findings are preliminary and warrant prospective validation using standardized measures.
