Psychological Flexibility, Coping Styles, and Mood Among Individuals With Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in Biopsychosocial science and medicine, 2025. 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
objectiveAn emerging body of evidence suggests that psychological flexibility may be an important and underexamined determinant of overall psychological functioning. The chronic nature of cystic fibrosis (CF) may require a greater level of flexibility to navigate complex and dynamic health concerns in an increasingly aging population.
methodsWe examined associations between psychological flexibility, coping styles, psychological grit, and negative affectivity (anxiety and depressive symptoms) from baseline assessments of randomized trials among adults with CF. Regression models controlling for age, sex, income, psychotropic medication use, and pulmonary function were used to characterize associations between psychological flexibility, coping styles, and negative affect.
resultsA total of 124 individuals were included in analyses, 74 (60%) of whom were taking psychotropic medication. Depressive [Beck Depression Inventory-II = 18.6 (SD = 9.9)] and anxious [Beck Anxiety Inventory = 13.8 (SD = 9.3)] symptoms were both elevated. Greater levels of psychological flexibility were associated with lower negative affect, such that individuals reporting less cognitive fusion (B = -0.59, p < .001) and greater psychological acceptance (B = -0.51. p < .001) exhibited lesser levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Psychological flexibility was the most robust correlate of negative affect after accounting for other coping variables (B = -0.50, p < .001), and this association was not moderated by forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity levels.
conclusionsPsychological flexibility is robustly associated with decreased negative affect among individuals with CF, independent of background and clinical characteristics.
