Are we doing good? Perceived emotion regulation success and relationship quality in couples.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Emotion regulation (ER) plays a central role in shaping relationship quality and stability. However, little is known about how individuals' perceptions of their own ER success (as regulators), their partner's ER success (as targets), and the similarity of these perceptions relate to relationship quality across gender and age groups. Methods: The study investigated these associations in a dyadic sample of 37 younger couples ( Results: Higher perceived ER success was associated with greater relationship quality. This association was particularly evident among women and older ones. Among men, similarity between their perceived success as regulators and targets emerged as a unique predictor of their higher relationship quality. Discussion: These findings advance the understanding of gender- and age-specific emotional processes in romantic relationships and suggest that fostering women's emotional self-awareness-especially in later life-and enhancing mutual emotional understanding among men can strengthen relationship quality.
