The Roles of Age and Depression in Affective Responsivity to Daily Positive Events.
Article in Research square, 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
Depression can present severe challenges in daily functioning for individuals across the adult lifespan. Growing older is associated with strengths in emotion regulation (ER) and physiological challenges that can influence depressive symptoms. Affective responsivity (changes in levels of positive affect (PA) or negative affect (NA) in response to an event) may be an indicator of ER disturbances and emotional instability in individuals with depression where previous research has found a "mood brightening" (MB) pattern characterized by increased affective responsivity to positive events. Past work, however, primarily examines MB in younger adult samples and does not evaluate age-related patterns. Using waves 2 and 3 of the Midlife in the United States Study and National Study of Daily Experiences, we examined cross-sectional baseline age differences and longitudinal changes in MB. The analytic sample comprised of 2,022 participants (M
