Jane is right, Dube 2001 is traditionally taken as one of / the preeminent "the" article describing risk of suicide with ACEs, but there are others if one wishes to use something like Google Scholar. For example, there's Devaney's 2012 report from Ireland; and Serafini's 2015 systematic review -- both open access so I've attached them. Whether or not these will satisfy your particular interest (I'm still a bit unsure of what that is -- if you can put it into words that will help focus your search), only you will know. But frankly, coming from a high ACEs background myself, having experienced more than my own fair share of suicidal ideation (and a family background where more than suicide occurred), I'm always a bit sceptical of claims like Serafini's that it seems more tied to being sexually abused, as if other forms of adversity haven't an equal or greater effect (which other research supports) --- but traditionally, sexual abuse is the first one to be researched, so I suspect the studies are marred by this methodological problem -- there are systematic reviews and then there are well done systematic reviews.
