Psychological flexibility as a mediator between social participation and retirement adaptation: an ACT intervention study from the perspective of active aging.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: This study aims to examine the effectiveness and mechanisms of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in promoting retirement adaptation among older adults, and to analyze the mediating role of psychological flexibility within the framework of positive aging and successful aging theory. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 145 participants was conducted to establish a mediation model exploring psychological flexibility between social participation and retirement adaptation. Subsequently, 77 eligible participants were randomly assigned to an ACT intervention group ( Results: Psychological flexibility partially mediated the association between social participation and retirement adaptation (indirect effect = 0.189, 95% CI [0.098, 0.298]), accounting for 29.73% of the total effect. ACT intervention significantly improved both retirement adaptation and psychological flexibility ( Discussion: ACT may promote retirement adaptation by enhancing psychological flexibility, providing preliminary evidence for psychological interventions under the active aging framework. Causal inferences from the cross-sectional mediation model require validation in longitudinal designs.
