Internet-based UP-A intervention on treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, and psychological flexibility among adolescents with sub-clinical diagnosis of emotional disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic: a clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of internet-based Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A) during the COVID-19 pandemic in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and psychological flexibility. 40 adolescents with subclinical features of emotional disorder randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The participants first completed DASS-21 and AAQ-2 questionnare online. Then, the intervention group received 12 sessions of UP-A through video calls on WhatsApp, 2 days per week each for 45 min. UP-A is an emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy consisting of 5 core modules or components that target temperamental characteristics, particularly neuroticism and resulting emotion dysregulation. Eventually the stress, anxiety, and depression levels decreased in intervention group and their psychological flexibility increased immediately and 3 months after the intervention.
