Emotion regulation strategy use and daily levels of affective arousal, affective valence and dissociation in a clinical sample.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Clinical models and cross-sectional research suggest that habitual use of disengagement-oriented emotion regulation strategies is associated with high levels of affective arousal, negative valence, and dissociation, whereas engagement-oriented strategies show the opposite effect. However, intensive longitudinal evidence remains scarce. This study examined whether habitual use of 10 emotion regulation strategies, assessed using the Process Model of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (PMERQ), predicts affective arousal and valence, and dissociation in daily life. We analysed ecological momentary assessment data from 88 individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorders. Baseline PMERQ scores did not robustly predict daily levels of affective arousal and valence, and dissociation. The overall null findings of our study could reflect either a true absence of meaningful effects, insufficient sample size, or a mismatch between trait-level emotion regulation measures and momentary affect/dissociation. Future studies should prioritise momentary assessments of emotion regulation to disentangle state and trait effects.
