Effects of Reappraisal and Self-Compassion Expressive Writing on Emotion Regulation.
Trial report in Quarterly journal of experimental psychology (2006), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Expressive writing is the disclosure of negative events in a safe and non-threatening environment while focusing on the feelings and emotions associated with an experience. Studies have proposed that alternative expressive writing instructions can influence expressive writing outcomes and shed light on the benefits of the intervention. Thus, we created two novel expressive writing instructions susceptible to inducing emotion regulation: a reappraisal and a self-compassion instruction. Sixty-six college students at a university were randomly assigned to either reappraisal or a self-compassion expressive group. Positive and negative affect, emotion regulation, anxiety, and alexithymia were measured before and after writing. Electrocardiogram was recorded during the experiment to examine the effects of the writing exercise on the Autonomous Nervous System. We found that expressive writing decreased Heart-Rate (HR) (
