Depersonalization, Emotion Embodiment, and Alexithymia in the General Population.

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
introductionAlterations in emotional experiences have been demonstrated in depersonalization-derealization disorder, typically highlighting a blunting of emotions and decreased ability to recognize and name emotions (i.e., alexithymia). However, less research has focused on how individuals with depersonalization experiences embody emotion states. Therefore, the present study investigated emotional embodiment and alexithymia in a general population sample with high (n = 33) and low (n = 66) levels of depersonalization.
methodsUsing a computerized topographical mapping task, the emBODY task, participants indicated where they experience sensations associated with specific emotion states.
resultsWe found that increased depersonalization was associated with increased alexithymia. Individuals with higher levels of depersonalization showed qualitative differences in bodily sensation maps, including more diffused and less localized embodiment for certain high arousal emotion states.
conclusionThese findings emphasize that individuals with increased levels of depersonalization may not simply experience a blanket numbing of emotions but instead may have increased attunement to certain high arousal emotion states.
