Predictors of Improvement in Subjective Executive Functioning Following an Internet-Delivered Cognitive Enhancement Intervention for Adults in Remission From Depression.
Trial report in Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionResidual cognitive deficits are commonly reported by individuals in remission from depression, often affecting daily life functioning and mental health. To provide tailored and personalized cognitive enhancement interventions for this population, there is a need for a better understanding of the characteristics of those who benefit from such interventions. Therefore, this study aimed to identify predictors of changes in subjective executive functioning following an internet-delivered cognitive enhancement intervention for adults in remission from depression.
methodsData were collected from a randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy of an internet-delivered cognitive enhancement intervention. Changes in subjective executive functioning from pre-treatment to the six-month follow-up were assessed in 44 participants in remission from depression, using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Adult Global Executive Composite. Linear mixed model analyses were conducted to investigate the impact of demographic, clinical, and treatment credibility variables on change in subjective cognitive functioning over time.
resultsThe results showed that shorter lifetime depression duration predicted greater improvements in subjective executive functioning (p = 0.031). Higher levels of treatment expectancy and credibility were related to greater improvements in subjective cognitive functioning (p = 0.024). Participants with a partner showed better treatment response than those without a partner (p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study builds on previous research on cognitive enhancement interventions in remitted depression, highlighting the impact of depression duration, treatment expectancy, and credibility on treatment response. Interventions targeting cognitive deficits appear most effective for those with a shorter lifetime duration of depression. Therefore, efforts should be made to enhance outcomes in those with a chronic course. To maximize engagement and outcomes, these interventions should be delivered in a way that individuals in remission from depression view them as credible and capable of reducing their deficits. Previous research has not found partner status to predict change in subjective executive functioning. The effect of partner status on treatment response should be investigated further.
