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
Music plays a significant role in mood regulation, influencing emotional states, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being. However, validated instruments to assess the use of music as a mood-regulation strategy are limited. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Brief Music in Mood Regulation Scale (B-MMR), a 21-item self-report measure, for use in Portuguese. Data were collected from 493 Portuguese students in an online survey. Participants completed the B-MMR alongside the Basic Emotions Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses, reliability assessments, measurement invariance testing, and external validity analyses were conducted to evaluate the scale's psychometric properties. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original seven-factor structure, with three items per factor, with acceptable global fit indices. The Portuguese version showed satisfactory reliability. Invariance analyses revealed equivalence of the factor structure, loadings, and intercepts across sex groups, supporting meaningful comparisons of scores between men and women. Correlations between B-MMR dimensions and basic emotions were small to moderate and are interpreted as preliminary and indirect indicators of external validity, as they index emotional experiences rather than regulatory processes. Findings suggest that the Portuguese B-MMR is a promising tool for research on music-based mood regulation in student populations. A comprehensive validation across more diverse and clinical samples, using established emotion regulation measures, is needed before clinical or applied use.
