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
backgroundChildhood maltreatment (CM) is a potent predictor of lifelong emotional and psychological difficulties. We investigated how CM affects intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation (ER) processes and explored the impact of these ER difficulties on daily life mood.
methodsWe explored the CM-ER association in two studies. Data and code are available at https://osf.io/cbkyj/ . Study 1 tested pre-registered hypotheses ( https://osf.io/2kt35 ) on the association between CM and self-reported ER difficulties in a web-based sample (N = 553). Study 2 used ecological momentary assessment data (N = 103) to examine how trait-level intra- and interpersonal ER difficulties predict momentary negative mood in pseudo-randomized daily assessments over seven days (3,973 observations), particularly in the context of momentary interpersonal stressors.
resultsWe replicated a positive association between CM severity and intrapersonal ER difficulties and revealed differential effects of abuse versus neglect. Additionally, CM was associated with lower use of and more difficulties in interpersonal ER. In exploratory analyses, we found that intrapersonal ER difficulties predicted increased negative mood during interpersonal stressors, while interpersonal ER use showed no significant effects on momentary mood.
conclusionsOur findings highlight a critical treatment target: intrapersonal ER impairments, which uniquely predict daily mood fluctuations beyond the effect of CM severity. Reduced use of interpersonal ER was also observed in individuals with more severe CM, which could be adaptive in certain environments where social support is unavailable or inconsistent. We emphasize the need to prioritize ER-focused interventions in clinical settings to address the enduring consequences of CM.
