A redesigned mood induction procedure: The emotional rollercoaster of life under experimental control.

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
The aim of this study was to develop a new mood induction procedure in which a positively and a negatively loaded images presented sequentially (or vice versa) alter participants' mood state. A second objective was to investigate whether baseline results can be replicated at 6 months and whether these induced mood changes depend on sex, age, and image quality (colour and recognition). 82 participants underwent a mood induction procedure at baseline and 6 months. After a measurement in which current happiness, sadness and anger was assessed, they were exposed to two subsequent images of opposite emotional loading. After each image, they were asked to report their mood. Multi-level analyses showed significant effects of both the first image and the second image on participants' mood. Replication at 6 months was mostly confirmed. Interactions with sex and age were demonstrated partially. No significant colour and recognition effects were found. Unexpectedly, significant order effects of emotional loading were found for all three mood items. This redesigned mood induction procedure resulted in congruent effects on subjective mood. The need for replication of these findings, as well as the extension of the paradigm to clinical populations, is encouraged.
