Associations between self-compassion and suicidal ideation among college students: the serial mediating roles of meaning in life and psychological resilience and the moderating role of perceived stress.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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 is a critical concern among college students. We examined self-compassion as a key protective quality and its links with suicidal ideation. Our model places meaning in life and psychological resilience in a serial path between these variables and treats perceived stress as a contextual factor. Methods: We carried out a survey and asked students to complete the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, the short form of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the short Perceived Stress Scale. With 905 valid questionnaires, we used partial least squares structural equation modeling to explore links among these variables. Results: Self-compassion and suicidal ideation moved in opposite directions at the direct path level ( Conclusion: Overall, self-compassion shows a protective pattern for suicidal ideation through meaning in life and psychological resilience, especially in high-stress situations. These results give useful ideas for designing campus mental health programs for college students.
