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: Cognitive reappraisal can improve mental state by reinterpreting events and thoughts. This study investigated the effects of a five-day cognitive reappraisal training program on mental resilience, depression level, and emotional state in 63 Chinese individuals with depressive disorder. Patients and Methods: This pre-post intervention study recruited participants through verified online depression support groups. Training was conducted daily over five consecutive days (each session lasting 60 minutes). A total of 63 individuals participated (age range 16-42 years, M=24, SD=5), including 26 males and 37 females. Based on baseline SDS scores, 27.0% met criteria for minor depression, 31.7% for moderate depression, and 41.3% for major depression. A 5-day intervention comprising daily 30-40-minute sessions of cognitive reappraisal training using IAPS images was implemented. Patient-generated reappraisal strategies were collected as written responses and systematically coded by researchers for analysis. Participants completed the Reappraisal Inventiveness Test (RIT), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) before training, on day 2 and day 5 during training, and 10 days post-training. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0, including paired-sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Spearman correlation, and independent-sample t-tests with Bonferroni correction. Results: Cognitive reappraisal ability (CR1: mean increase from 2.349 to 3.365, Conclusion: Cognitive reappraisal training can improve mental well-being in the short-term in individuals with depressive disorder. Extended training may enhance these effects.
