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
backgroundThis paper examines the emotional experiences of vulnerable Lebanese youth in light of the context of prolonged and uninterrupted social, political, and economic crises impacting Lebanon in recent years.
methodConducted as part of the "Yes to Emotions in Youth" (YEY) program, which focused on emotional intelligence (EI) training at a semi-private school in Lebanon, the research analyzes the emotional diaries from 145 students (98 girls) aged 15-17. These diaries were analyzed using thematic analysis informed by Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The study adopts the framework of trait Emotional Intelligence and utilized Brasseur et al. (2013) model of five emotional competences: identification, understanding, expression, regulation, and utilization of emotions.
resultsFour overarching themes were discerned: (One) Emotional identification: unpleasant emotions and triggers; (Two) Emotional identification: pleasant emotions and triggers; (Three) Coping and emotional regulation: maladaptive practices; and (Four) Coping and emotional regulation: adaptive practices. While the sampled population is, in general, attuned with, and shows competence in identifying emotions and their triggers, many of the youth participants struggled with regulating these emotions adaptively. DISCUSSION: The findings highlight the disparate layers of EI-informed coping in relation to emotion identification and regulation among youth grappling with the precarity of daily life.
