Optimizing prompt frequency in a brief online emotion regulation training for community adults: A three-arm randomized controlled trial.
Article in Internet interventions, 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
Background: Online emotion regulation interventions show promise for addressing mental health concerns, yet optimal delivery parameters remain unclear. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the efficacy of a brief online emotion regulation (ER) intervention against a robust active control, and (2) investigate the impact of practice prompt frequency on clinical outcomes. Methods: In this three-arm randomized controlled trial, community adults ( Conclusions: Brief online emotion regulation training effectively reduces depression and stress compared to a robust active control. While single daily prompts were sufficient for initial skill acquisition-suggesting a minimal effective dose for engagement-higher frequency supported superior long-term maintenance. These findings point toward adaptive implementation strategies: starting with lower-frequency prompts to reduce burden, then increasing frequency for skill maintenance.
