Impact of expressive suppression on subthreshold depression among college students: a moderated mediation model.

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 strategies, particularly expressive suppression, and negative attention bias significantly contribute to the onset and persistence of subthreshold depression among college students. However, the underlying moderating mechanisms of this relationship remain inadequately understood. Guided by the Emotion Regulation Process Model, this study examined a moderated mediation model to determine whether negative attention bias mediates the relationship between expressive suppression and subthreshold depression and to explore the moderating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy within this framework. Methods: A total of 956 college students aged between 19 and 24 years participated in this cross-sectional survey. Results: Negative attention bias fully mediated the relationship between expressive suppression and subthreshold depression. Moreover, regulatory emotional self-efficacy moderated both the direct relationship between expressive suppression and subthreshold depression, and the association between negative attention bias and subthreshold depression. Specifically, individuals with higher levels of regulatory emotional self-efficacy exhibited diminished indirect effects of expressive suppression on subthreshold depression through negative attention bias. Discussion: These findings provide valuable insights into potential mechanisms for targeted interventions and preventative measures aimed at reducing depressive symptoms among college students.
