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 dynamics, which describe affective patterns over time, may illustrate how specific emotion regulation difficulties manifest in daily life. However, limited research links emotion regulation with emotion dynamics assessed naturalistically. In two samples, 62 and 304 university students completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale then completed ecological momentary assessments of positive and negative affect thrice daily for seven and 14 days, respectively, to examine mean positive and negative affect, affective variability, affective instability, and emotional inertia. Self-reported emotion regulation difficulties broadly correlated with elevated mean negative affect and lower positive affect. However, no specific association of an emotion regulation difficulty with affective variability, instability, or inertia replicated across samples. Further research is needed with diverse methodologies to explore how in situ emotion dynamics reflect emotion regulation difficulties.
