1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

background and hypothesisStress sensitivity may represent an important target for resilience-promoting, preventive interventions. Resilience Training (RT) is a 4-session, group-based behavioral intervention, focusing on mindfulness-based skills, that leads to reductions in psychopathology. To investigate the mechanisms of RT, the current study tested whether acquiring the skills taught in RT leads to decreases in psychopathology via reductions in one manifestation of stress sensitivity, emotion reactivity, and associated changes in hippocampal-frontal connectivity. STUDY

designAn open trial of RT was conducted in 103 non-help-seeking young adults with mild-to-moderate psychotic experiences (PEs) and/or symptoms of depression. Transdiagnostic symptoms, emotion reactivity, and mindfulness-related skills were measured, and, in a subset of participants (n = 41), resting-state, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected, before and after completion of RT. STUDY

resultsReplicating and extending findings of prior studies of RT, significant increases in mindfulness-related RT skills and significant decreases in transdiagnostic symptoms and emotion reactivity, as well as changes in hippocampal-frontal functional connectivity, were observed following RT (all P < .02). Mediation analyses revealed that associations between the acquisition of the RT skills and decreases in symptoms (P < .006) were fully mediated by the decrease in emotion reactivity, which was also correlated with a significant pre-to-post increase in hippocampal-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex connectivity (P = .032).

conclusionsRT may lead to improvements in mental health by increasing the capacity to manage day-to-day stress. Future randomized controlled trials with extended follow-up can determine whether such improvements decrease the likelihood of developing disabling mental illnesses in transdiagnostically at-risk individuals.
