Article in Psychology research and behavior management, 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
Purpose: Previous studies have identified depression as a risk factor for social pain. However, few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, this study employed the four-way decomposition method integrating mediation and interaction effects to investigate the potential role of cognitive reappraisal between depression and social pain. Methods: This study utilized convenience sampling to survey university students from three higher education institutions in Daqing City. Correlation analysis and Linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0 to examine the relationships among depression, cognitive reappraisal, and social pain. Four-way decomposition analysis was performed using SAS to investigate the mediation and interaction effects of cognitive reappraisal between depression and social pain. Results: A total of 773 college students participated in the survey, with females accounting for 74.26% (n=574) and males 25.74% (n=199). Linear regression analyses revealed significant positive associations between depression and social pain (β = 0.30, p < 0.001). Cognitive reappraisal demonstrated negative correlations with both depression (β = -0.20, p < 0.001) and social pain (β = -0.63, p < 0.001). Four-way decomposition analysis revealed that cognitive reappraisal plays a dual role in the relationship between depression and social pain. The total mediation effect accounted for 54.20% of the total effect, while the total interaction effect reached -263.92%, with the eliminable proportion of cognitive reappraisal calculated as -221.43%. Conclusion: This study elucidates the underlying mechanisms through which depression and cognitive reappraisal influence social pain among college students, providing a novel perspective for improving their mental health.
