Self-regulating positive emotion networks by feedback of multiple emotional brain states using real-time fMRI.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Disordered emotion regulation may affect work efficiency, induce social disharmony, and even cause psychiatric diseases. Despite recent neurocomputing advances, whether positive and negative emotion networks can be voluntarily modulated is still unknown. In the present study, we addressed this question through multivariate voxel pattern analysis and real-time functional MRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf). During a sustained emotion regulation task, participants' emotional states (positive or negative) were given to them as feedback. Participants were able to increase the percentage of positive emotional states, enhancing emotion regulation network activities. Participants showed an improvement on the positive subscale of positive and negative affect scale that came close to significance. Furthermore, the activation of several emotion-related brain regions, including insula, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, was also increased during rtfMRI-nf training. These findings suggest that humans are able to voluntarily modulate positive emotion networks, leading to exciting applications in the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric disorders.
