Multimodal art intervention for flourishing in lonely university students: psychological and exploratory neurophysiological outcomes.
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: Loneliness is highly prevalent among university students and is associated with reduced positive functioning. However, evidence concerning multimodal art interventions for flourishing-related outcomes in this population remains limited. This study examined whether an eight-week, group-based multimodal art intervention could improve psychological flourishing, state positive affect, aesthetic experience, and exploratory wearable electroencephalography (EEG) indices among lonely university students. Methods: Sixty students with elevated loneliness (20-item UCLA Loneliness Scale score ≥ 44) and below-flourishing mental health, as assessed using the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, were randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( Results: Significant Group × Time interactions were observed for flourishing, Discussion: The findings provide preliminary evidence that a group-based multimodal art intervention may enhance aesthetic engagement, positive affect, psychological flourishing, and alpha-based relaxation among lonely university students, although attention-related EEG indices remained unchanged. Multimodal art programs may offer a feasible and accessible approach to supporting university students' well-being.
