Affective reserve in older adults with and without multiple sclerosis: A residual-based approach.
Article in Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England), 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
backgroundThe concept of affective reserve has been proposed, but not operationalized, as a buffer designed to regulate mood and behavior in response to adverse events. This study derived a residual-based metric of affective reserve and evaluated whether it mediated associations between having multiple sclerosis and subjective well-being in older adults.
methodsSociodemographics and brain pathology metrics were regressed against a composite mood, extraversion, and consciousness variable to derive affective reserve in a sample of older adults with multiple sclerosis (
resultsAffective reserve was positively associated with both Mental Composite Summary and Physical Composite Summary. After covariate adjustments, affective reserve fully mediated the relationship between having multiple sclerosis and Mental Composite Summary (
conclusionThis residual-based metric offers a novel approach for measuring affective reserve. Not only is it associated with both physical and mental well-being, but it explained the relationship between the latter and the presence of multiple sclerosis.
