Prevention Interventions for Suicidal Ideations and Attempts Among Adolescents: A Systematic Review of Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Studies, 2015-2025.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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: Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among adolescents are major global public health concerns. Prevention approaches vary in target population, intensity, setting, and professional delivery, making cross-context interpretation difficult. Objective: To synthesize and critically appraise experimental and quasi-experimental evidence on interventions targeting suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and related risk factors among adolescents. Methods: This PRISMA 2020 review searched PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed English-language studies published during 2015-2025. JBI tools assessed methodological quality; RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I assessed risk of bias. The review was registered retrospectively in PROSPERO on January 8, 2026 (CRD420261281127), after the literature search was completed on October 31, 2025. Results: Twenty-three studies (19 randomized and 4 quasi-experimental; reported sample sizes totaling 2952 participants) were included. The most consistent beneficial patterns for direct suicide-related outcomes were observed in structured, multi-session CBT- and DBT-informed interventions for high-risk adolescents, while family-based interventions showed generally favorable but less extensive evidence. Findings for universal, selective, brief, digital, media-based, and culturally adapted approaches were more heterogeneous or preliminary. Improvements in secondary outcomes such as help-seeking, emotional symptoms, and service linkage were not interpreted as equivalent to reductions in suicidal ideation or attempts. Delivery involved school psychologists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and interdisciplinary clinical teams across school, outpatient, emergency, and inpatient settings. Conclusion: Adolescent suicide prevention should be interpreted according to prevention level, clinical risk, intervention intensity, setting, and service context. Coordinated school and healthcare pathways may support risk-matched care, but heterogeneity in interventions, outcomes, follow-up, and study quality limits firm comparative conclusions.
