Analyzing the item-level effects of emotion regulation through a complex systems approach.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2026. 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
backgroundEmotion regulation significantly influences emotional experiences. While research has extensively explored the overall effects of regulation strategies, little attention has been paid to their item-level impacts. This study addresses this gap by employing a complex systems approach to examine the intricate dynamics and interdependencies among individual regulation items, using network analysis to reveal how these strategies collectively shape emotional outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study, conducted in Tehran, Iran in 2023, recruited 528 participants (396 females, 132 males; mean age: 25.9 years) via online platforms. Using R for data analysis, a regularized Gaussian graphical model was estimated utilizing glasso in combination with the extended Bayesian information criterion model. The centrality of nodes in the network was calculated using measures of betweenness, closeness, and strength.
resultsThe findings revealed significant connections among various emotion regulation strategies, with the highest edge weights observed between ERQ7 __ ERQ8 (0.371), ERQ2 __ ERQ6 (0.289), ERQ2 __ ERQ4 (0.275), and ERQ6 __ ERQ9 (0.278). Additionally, the analysis demonstrated that ERQ6, ERQ10, and ERQ7 emerged as the most central nodes in the emotion regulation network, indicating their influential role in controlling and transforming emotions.
conclusionThe findings of this study are expected to advance our theoretical understanding of emotion regulation and offer practical implications for clinical interventions and interventions aimed at enhancing emotional well-being.
