An integrative model of perseverative thinking.
Review in Dialogues in clinical neuroscience, 2025. 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
People spend most of their waking hours detached from external stimuli, remembering the past, foreseeing the future, imagining situations in which they did not attend or that have never existed, or, simply, thinking. Such a process is crucial for mental health. A common feature of many mental disorders is recurrent stress-related thoughts, the so-called 'perseverative thinking'. In this review, we describe how perseverative thinking represents a dysfunctional self-regulatory strategy that maintains and increases the effects of mental suffering and arises from the maladaptive interplay between discrepancy monitoring, strategy selection, executive regulation, and information representation. We further argue that perseverative thinking can change how the mind represents the world through memory updating, resulting in an increased perceived need for regulation of the external and internal inputs. Lastly, we propose a new integrated model incorporating the different features of perseverative thinking, offering a more unified perspective on psychopathology.
