Technology-Assisted Interventions for Reducing Risk of Suicide: A Meta-Analysis Focused on Suicidal Ideation.

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
backgroundSuicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents worldwide. Suicide is a complex multifactorial issue and, in 2025, became the third-leading cause of death among individuals aged 15-29. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-assisted interventions (TIs) in reducing both suicidal behaviour and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents.
methodsFor this meta-analysis, we searched the EBSCO (APA PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, MEDLINE, APA PsycTherapy, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection), PubMed and Cochrane databases from inception until May 2025, seeking out articles featuring data (quantitative outcomes related to suicidal ideation or behaviour) on evaluated suicide or self-harm interventions among children and adolescents (aged 13-18) that incorporated digital technologies in some manner. We used random effects meta-analysis to estimate the effect size for suicidal ideation reduction. We assessed heterogeneity using the I
resultsAfter applying the eligibility criteria, six studies were selected for the analysis. Although the initial conceptual aim pertained to suicidal risk and self-harm more broadly, suicidal ideation was the only outcome consistently reported across the eligible studies; therefore, it served as the primary meta-analytic outcome.
conclusionsThe results highlight that technology-assisted interventions yield an overall statistically significant moderate reduction in suicidal ideation, providing valuable support for the implementation of such interventions during adolescence, although further rigorous research is needed to strengthen the evidence base.
