Prohedonic Emotion Regulation Goals in Everyday Life: How Increasing Positive Affect and Reducing Negative Affect Relate to the Emotion Regulation Process and Depression.
Article in Affective science, 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
Research finds that prohedonic emotion regulation (ER) plays a key role in psychological well-being. Despite prohedonic ER encompassing both increasing or maintaining positive affect (PA) and decreasing negative affect (NA), prohedonic ER is often examined without regard to these different forms. Research is needed to examine the frequency of these two forms of prohedonic ER and their associations with depressive symptoms to clarify their costs and benefits. In addition to investigating their frequency, we examined how they were related to perceived ER effort, difficulty, and success and whether depression moderated these associations.
