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

This study investigates the effectiveness of Internal Cohesion Psychotherapy (ICP) in enhancing three dimensions of the intrapersonal system: self-regulation, self-esteem, and motivation among youth with diagnosed mood disorders. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention assessments from 82 clients (63 females, 19 males). In contrast, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 20 clients (15 females, 5 males) provided deeper insights into participants’ experiences. Results from linear mixed models showed significant improvements in self-regulation, self-esteem, and motivation of the youth clients after the Internal Cohesion Psychotherapy treatment that they received. Qualitative findings underscored the practical and emotional transformations facilitated by ICP, revealing some important features of this therapeutic approach, which positively influenced emotional regulation, self-confidence, and motivation, thus improving the overall intrapersonal system. This research highlights the potential of ICP to promote positive mental health outcomes by addressing intrapersonal dimensions.
