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

The route to wellbeing is often divided into hedonic (pleasure or relaxation) and eudaimonic (meaning or growth) pathways. Positive technology is a growing research area which aims to use technology to facilitate engagement in wellbeing-supporting activities. While virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used to support day-to-day wellbeing, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear and VR research typically determines success based on outcomes. This leaves a gap whereby the processes which facilitate outcomes are less understood. This exploratory study examined the relative effects, on participant emotion responses (
