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

ER diversity and global ER ability significantly moderated the prospective association between stress and interleukin-6Objective: Identifying psychosocial factors that promote health in the context of stress and aging is needed. Emotion regulation (ER) may be one such protective factor. The current study tested three forms of ER-use of individual ER strategies, diversity of ER strategies, and global ER ability-as moderators of the prospective association between perceived stress and inflammation in older adults.

methodAdults (

resultsNo one ER strategy moderated the prospective association between stress and inflammation (

conclusionsOlder adults experiencing higher stress who employ a diversity of ER strategies and have higher global ER ability had lower levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein, respectively, but not of other markers. Initial results suggest ER approaches other than individual strategies may promote healthy immune aging in the context of stress. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
