Effect of social perspectives in the relationship between suicidal ideation and depression among young women in slums of Kampala, Uganda.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundMultivariate analysis in suicidality research is of interest not only to identify the pathology of suicidality but also to understand the mechanisms of its treatment and to ascertain more efficient intervention strategies. The current study aimed to assess the roles of neighborhood factors, coping, and resilience in the association between depression and suicidal ideation in the understudied population of young women in the Kampala slum areas of Uganda.
methodsData from the baseline assessment of "The Onward Project On Wellbeing and Adversity" (TOPOWA) research study were utilized during analysis. TOPOWA is a multi-component, prospective cohort study examining the mechanistic pathways of mental illness in the context of social determinants of mental health and lived experience among young women aged 18 to 24 years living in the urban slums of Kampala. The cohort comprises 300 women recruited in 2023 from 3 study sites (i.e., Banda, Bwaise, and Makindye). A path analysis hypothesizing the roles of neighborhood characteristics, coping, and resilience in the association between depression and suicidal ideation was modeled. Neighborhood characteristics in this study were typically neighborhood cohesion and neighborhood satisfaction.
resultsThe study findings demonstrated a significant role of resilience in the relationship between the neighborhood characteristics, depression, and suicidal ideation in a population where the prevalence of suicidal ideation (46.0%) and depression (57.8%) is substantial. Resilience was linked to reduced suicidal ideation (β = -0.02, p < 0.05) and depression (β = -0.14, p < 0.001).
conclusionIntervention programs geared towards building resilience among young women in Uganda may reduce suicidal ideation directly or indirectly by decreasing depression, especially in urban slum settings.
