Who regulates when told? A systematic investigation of implicit to explicit emotion regulation.
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: Emotion regulation is a significant area of psychological research that requires investigation of processes that are often difficult for participants to describe, involving implicit and automatic actions. However, research examining emotion regulatory processes often requires individuals to modify their emotional responses in the moment and to report on that strategy use. We aimed to determine if individuals are able to change the regulation of their emotions when implicit goals are made explicit. Method: Undergraduates ( Results: Results suggested little difference in emotion response output following emotion regulation education and strategy reports and that individuals higher in trait negative affectivity were least responsive. Discussion: Hence, individuals may struggle to respond when implicit regulatory goals become explicit. This has implications for future research, but also for interventions that commonly rely on explicit emotion regulation goals and processes.
