The effectiveness of an emotional intelligence intervention on Lebanese adolescent mental health: A mixed-method study with emotional diary integration.

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
Adolescents in Lebanon face socioeconomic and political stressors that undermine socioemotional development and mental health. This study evaluated the Yes to Emotions (YEY) programme, a culturally adapted 11-session intervention to enhance trait Emotional Intelligence (trait EI) and mental health. The sample comprised 712 adolescents (326 girls) aged 14-21 years from public schools allocated to either the YEY intervention (with voluntary diary completion) or a waitlist comparison condition. A mixed-methods design combined self-report and diary data. Results showed higher trait EI, intrapersonal emotional competencies, adaptive coping and reduced maladaptive coping and depressive symptoms. Effect sizes were larger in the diary group, whereas the non-diary group showed more modest gains and often did not differ from the waitlist comparison group. Qualitative findings illustrated the quantitative results, illustrating improvements in emotion regulation, self-esteem, empathy and interpersonal relationships. Findings support EI training and the potential value of emotional diaries in high-adversity contexts.
