Motivational and Self-Regulatory Factors Associated With Yearning and Prolonged Grief Symptoms.
Article in The Journal of nervous and mental disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractEnhanced motivational sensitivity to reward is associated with several psychiatric conditions, including prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Although reasons for this association remain unclear, it is possible that individuals higher in reward sensitivity are more prone to yearning for a lost loved one, especially if they have difficulty reengaging in new life goals. We sought to examine this hypothesis in a cross-sectional cohort of 274 adults recruited online who reported a lifetime history of surviving at least one sudden death loss. Motivational sensitivity to reward was associated with more severe yearning, particularly among individuals who have difficulty reengaging in new life goals. This pattern of associations was specific to individuals with more severe PGD symptoms. Findings support previous research suggesting that reward sensitivity may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PGD and highlight potentially important intervention targets in at-risk bereaved populations.
