Executive Functions and Emotional Granularity: No Evidence for Positive Associations.
Article in Affective science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Emotional granularity is the ability to experience one's emotional experiences in a nuanced and specific manner. According to the theory of constructed emotion, between-person differences in emotional granularity are a function of how efficiently individuals categorize affect-related input by means of emotion concepts. We propose that executive functions support the effective coordination of the emotion categorization process, thereby facilitating emotional granularity. In the present study, we empirically examined the associations between three domains of executive functions (i.e., working memory, inhibition, and shifting) and emotional granularity for both negative and positive emotions (negative and positive emotional granularity) in two samples (participants with and without chronic pain). We hypothesized that all three executive function domains would be positively associated with both negative and positive emotional granularity.
