Wellbeing and mental health in Chilean public-school students: emotion regulation and character strengths.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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 examined the associations between emotion regulation, character strengths, and wellbeing among Chilean students attending public schools in Peñalolén, Santiago. Methods: Participants were 3,569 children and adolescents aged 8-18 years who completed the EPOCH Well-being Scale, selected item-level indicators of the CERQ-K (younger students) or DERS-E (older students), and 15 items from the VIA Character Strengths Inventory. Five hierarchical regression models were estimated for each EPOCH domain, separately by age group. Results: Adaptive emotion regulation strategies predicted higher happiness, optimism, and perseverance among younger students, whereas emotional difficulties predicted lower wellbeing among older students. Adding character strengths significantly increased explained variance, particularly for perseverance and optimism. Love of learning, hope, self-regulation, enthusiasm, love, and teamwork consistently predicted wellbeing. Discussion: Findings support the integration of emotion regulation and strengths-based education to promote student wellbeing in Latin American school settings.
