Social support mediates the effects of childhood unpredictability on anhedonia: A retrospective investigation in an online adult community sample.
Article in Journal of mood and anxiety disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Increasingly, research is highlighting the implications of exposure to unpredictable environments during childhood (i.e., "childhood unpredictability") on outcomes in adulthood. Converging evidence from preclinical and clinical studies has implicated childhood unpredictability in disrupted reward processing and anhedonia. From the stress generation literature, altered social support has emerged as a possible mechanism by which this effect may occur. In the current study, our goal was to understand whether the pathway from childhood unpredictability to anhedonia occurs through reduced perceptions of social support. Toward this end, we recruited an online community sample of adults in the US (
