Well-being Therapy in Depressive Disorders.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A specific brief psychotherapeutic intervention aimed at empowering psychological well-being, the so-called Well-Being Therapy (WBT), has been manualized in 2016 by Giovanni Fava and has shown to be effective in randomized controlled trials. WBT is based on the multidimensional model of psychological well-being developed by Marie Jahoda which encompasses environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, autonomy, self-acceptance, positive relations with others, and balance of psychic forces. WBT aims at promoting the achievement of an optimal-balanced functioning between the dimensions of psychological well-being, and such a balance is subsumed under the rubric of euthymia. There are evidences that WBT may be a suited clinical approach for second- or third-line treatment of depressive disorders with particular reference to decreasing vulnerability to relapse and modulating psychological well-being and mood. It has been also proposed a role of WBT in depressive disorders in clinical conditions such as treatment resistance, loss of antidepressant clinical efficacy, persistent post-withdrawal disorders, trauma exposure, and medical disease comorbidity. The present chapter provides an overview of the possible applications of WBT as treatment of depressive disorders.
