Impact of Tailored Interventions on Suicidal Ideation Recovery: Addressing Hopelessness Among Economically Vulnerable Populations During COVID-19 Period.
Trial report in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundPublic health crises-most recently exemplified by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-cause widespread psychological, social, and economic disruptions, contributing to increased depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation rates. This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of individuals who attempted suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the effectiveness of tailored interventions for economically vulnerable individuals.
methodsThis study was conducted as part of the "Post-management Service for Suicide Attempters in the Emergency Room" project. Overall, 93 individuals who had attempted suicide were recruited, with 49 completing the study. Participants were categorized based on economic status (vulnerable vs. general) and suicide attempt timing (during vs. after COVID-19). The intervention included structured counseling sessions (six and four sessions for the vulnerable and general group, respectively). The vulnerable group received two additional sessions tailored to individual needs, choosing from family counseling, mental health education, social skills training, or vocational rehabilitation. Clinical assessments-Beck Scale for Suicidal ideation (BSS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Beck Depression Inventory-II, and Beck Anxiety Inventory-were conducted at baseline and follow-up, with statistical analyses using linear regression, mixed-effects analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation.
resultsChanges in BSS scores negatively correlated with baseline BHS scores (B = -0.841, β = -0.593,
conclusionTailored interventions were associated with reduced suicidal ideation, particularly among economically vulnerable individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Addressing hopelessness emerged as a key mechanism in suicide prevention. The observed enhancement during the pandemic highlights the importance of context-sensitive strategies in public health crises. Further research using larger, randomized controlled trials is warranted.
