The efficacy of an online self-administered single session intervention to promote growth mindset in adolescents: A randomised controlled trial.
Article in JCPP advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Single-session interventions (SSIs) are emerging as one promising way to support one's mental health. Growth mindset refers to the beliefs about the malleability of traits and attributes. Building upon a feasibility study of a growth mindset single session intervention, this randomised controlled trial aimed to evaluate its efficacy when delivered online to young people. Methods: We recruited participants aged 14-18-year-olds via social media, schools, and charities in the UK. They were randomised to receive either an online video-based intervention or were placed on a waitlist control. They reported anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as personality mindset and psychological flexibility at baseline and at 1-month follow up. An intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and a case completer analysis were conducted. Results: In a sample of 104 participants (mean age = 16.3), an ITT analysis yielded negligible effects on anxiety and depression symptoms ( Conclusion: The intervention impacted personality mindset but had limited effect on anxiety and depression. Large sample sizes, improve retention rate, and a longer follow-up period are needed in future studies.
