1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Emotion regulation choice (ERC) requires cognitive control resources. However, it remains unknown whether and how individuals' internal resource levels may influence their ERC. To address this question, 51 participants first performed a depletion or non-depletion cognitive task. Then, they were presented with negative pictures of high and low intensity and were required to choose distraction or reappraisal, to regulate their emotion, or watch (no regulation) the negative stimulus. The results indicated that individuals showed a greater usage preference for distraction in high-intensity emotional situations. Besides, individuals' choice of reappraisal was not affected by emotional intensity. More importantly, the depletion effects led to a significant increase in the choice of watch and reduced the choice of distraction (but not reappraisal). These results suggest that cognitive depletion weakens emotion regulation willingness and has different effects on distraction and reappraisal.
