Note. Meta-analyses were conducted separately for published and unpublished effect sizes. Results based on all effect sizes—published and unpublished—are provided for comparison.

k = number of samples. CI = confidence interval. ET = Egger’s Regression Intercept test, 2-tailed p-value is reported; significance indicates potential publication biases. Trim&Fill = Duval’s Trim & Fill test, random effects estimates, Q-values, and the number of studies trimmed are reported.

PB = perceived burdensomeness. TB = thwarted belongingness. CS = capability for suicide. Attempt C = attempt history measured continuously. Attempt C/D = attempt history; analyses predicting attempts measured continuously and dichotomously were collapsed.
