Association of sleep, screen use with suicidal behaviour among patients with depressive disorder: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 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: Sleep disturbances and suicidal behaviour remain common in depression. Emerging evidence suggests a role of screen use and sleep disruption. However, Indian literature is limited. Aim: To examine the association between sleep, screen use with suicidal behaviour in depression. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 150 individuals with depressive disorder were enrolled, 75 each with and without suicidal behaviour. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Screen Time Questionnaire were used to measure depression severity, suicidal behaviour, sleep quality, and screen use, respectively. Results: Among 150 participants, 57.3% were female. Suicidal behaviour was associated with being unmarried, employed, longer duration of illness, earlier age of onset, greater depression severity, poor sleep quality, and higher screen time. Conclusion: Suicidal behaviour was associated with increased screen time and poor sleep quality underscoring the need for preventive strategies targeting sleep hygiene, and interventions to reduce screen time.
