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

Background: Rumination negatively affects emotional and psychological functioning in nonclinical populations and plays an essential role in psychological disorders as a transdiagnostic factor. This study examined factors that increase individuals' vulnerability to rumination, focusing on the relationship between emotional schemas and rumination, with emotional flexibility as a mediating variable. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study used structural equation modeling (SEM). Participants were 578 Tehran residents (381 females and 197 males), recruited through a voluntary sampling method. Data were collected using the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), the Persian version of the Emotional Schemas Scale (ESS-P), and the Emotional Flexibility Scale (EFS). SEM was employed for data analysis. Results: Emotional schemas significantly predicted emotional flexibility (β = -0.25, Conclusion: These findings suggest that emotional flexibility plays a crucial mediating role in the relationship between emotional schemas and rumination. Considering emotional flexibility in this context may provide a deeper understanding of the rumination process and inform management strategies.
