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

Adolescence and emerging adulthood are developmental periods marked by rapid biological, cognitive, and social changes during which emotion dysregulation may intensify and be accompanied by maladaptive cognitive and/or behavioral strategies. This single-arm pilot study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary clinical outcomes of a brief group-based emotion regulation program for adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 20. Forty-six participants were recruited from outpatient child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry services within a university hospital setting. Clinician-administered diagnostic interviews, including the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Axis II Disorders, were conducted at baseline only, whereas self-report measures and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale were administered at baseline, post-intervention, and at three-month follow-up. Feasibility was supported by acceptability and engagement, reflected in attendance and retention rates. Participants reported a significant increase in adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire). Suicidal ideation and behaviors showed a marked and sustained decrease over time. These preliminary findings support the feasibility of this brief group-based intervention and suggest potential clinical benefits that would warrant further confirmation in controlled trials.
