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

Third-wave psychotherapeutic approaches, which emphasise acceptance and mindfulness, have shown effectiveness in alleviating negative affect. This study examined the role of self-compassion in the relationship between resilience and negative affect, including symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. A cross-sectional design was employed with 494 adults from the general population. Participants completed the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Regression analyses indicated that higher resilience was associated with lower levels of negative affect and self-compassion was significantly correlated with both resilience and negative affect. Mediation analyses revealed a significant indirect effect, suggesting that self-compassion is associated with a portion of the variance in the relationship between resilience and negative affect. These findings highlight a notable association between self-compassion, resilience, and emotional distress, suggesting that self-compassion may be a relevant construct for interventions aimed at enhancing psychological wellbeing.
