Latent patterns of rumination and hopelessness on self-harm behaviors in adolescence.
Article in Child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health, 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
objectivesSelf-harm behaviors among adolescents, including suicide attempts (SA) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), present critical public health challenges globally. While past-oriented rumination and future-oriented hopelessness are established core dimensions of maladaptive self-cognition, their distinct associations with different forms of self-harm remain poorly characterized.
methodsUsing latent profile analysis, we investigated the heterogeneous profiles of rumination and hopelessness in a sample of 951 adolescents (Mage: 16.58; male: 420). We further examined how these latent profiles differ in their associations with SA and NSSI, controlling for general affective symptoms.
resultsThree distinct cognitive profiles were identified: high rumination–high hopelessness (n = 77, 8.09%), moderate rumination–moderate hopelessness (n = 531, 55.84%), and low rumination–low hopelessness (n = 343, 36.07%). Specifically, the high rumination–high hopelessness profile emerged as being uniquely associated with SA, even after controlling for affective symptoms. NSSI was related to the severity of depressive symptoms, but not related to the specific cognitive profiles.
conclusionOur study provides novel insights that the interaction between rumination and hopelessness generates distinct cognitive phenotypes, which show different associations with SA and NSSI. These findings address a key theoretical gap in self-harm mechanisms and suggest the need to reshape prevention paradigms by enabling phenotype-specific interventions targeting cognitive constrictions for at-risk youth.
