Advances in Mental Time Travel Research in Adolescent Depression: A Narrative Review.
Review in Alpha psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Adolescent depression is a serious public health issue affecting the mental health and quality of life of adolescents worldwide. Mental time travel (MTT), an individual's capacity to recall the past or look to the future, plays an important role in emotion regulation and mental health. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted. Due to considerable heterogeneity among the included studies, a narrative synthesis approach was adopted. A total of 22 articles retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and EBSCO (up to October 31, 2024) were included to elucidate the mechanisms underlying MTT impairments and related interventions in depressed adolescents. The main findings indicated that depressed adolescents exhibit overgeneralization of autobiographical memories, impoverished future simulations, and negative bias in MTT constructs. Neuroimaging studies have revealed aberrant activation within the autobiographical memory network, hyperengagement of the self-referential network during MTT tasks, and alterations in emotion regulation circuits. Furthermore, the efficacy of cognitive therapy and memory/imagery-specific training in ameliorating temporal cognitive biases and fostering positive future expectations was demonstrated. These findings underscore the importance of examining adolescent depression through the lens of MTT, offering a promising framework for understanding its cognitive and neural mechanisms and the development of novel intervention strategies.
