The role of perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness in suicide disclosure likelihood: a social network perspective.
Article in Frontiers in 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: Suicide prevention frequently hinges on disclosure of suicidal ideation (SI), yet half of suicide deaths are not preceded by disclosure. Interpersonal beliefs, including perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness predict suicide risk, but little is known about how those beliefs influence SI disclosure likelihood. This study employed a social network approach to investigate the role of PB and TB in likelihood to disclose future SI. Methods: N = 111 adults (mean age=54.7 years, 78.2% women) with an affective or psychotic disorder completed a social network survey assessing network structure, quality, support, and likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts to each social network member. Participants were also assessed for perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, depressive symptoms, and current/lifetime SI. Correlations evaluated relationships among social network features, perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, and likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts. Multilevel mediation models evaluated whether perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness explained the relationship between social network features and likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts, before and after adjusting for depression and current SI. Results: Social network structure, quality, and support were associated with perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness were negatively correlated with likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts. Adjusting for depression and current SI, thwarted belongingness explained the relationship between closeness, satisfaction, and practical support received, and likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts (standardized indirect effects Discussion: Thwarted belongingness, but not perceived burdensomeness, explained the relationship between social network features and likelihood to disclose future suicidal thoughts after adjusting for depression and SI. Our findings highlight the independent role of thwarted belongingness in anticipated suicide disclosure decisions and suggest that interventions that strengthen social networks could improve thwarted belongingness and suicide disclosure.
