[Reducing stress levels and anxiety in primary-care physicians through training and practice of a mindfulness meditation technique].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02897284 (Evaluation of Mindfulness-based Self-care Programs for the Prevention of Burnout Among Primary Care Providers), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo check the effectiveness of a mindfulness development meditation technique on stress and anxiety in a group of primary-care physicians.
designQuasi-experimental with pretest/posttest/follow-up measurements in a control group and an experimental group. SITE: University of Almeria.
participants38 primary-care physicians enrolled in a Teaching Aptitude Course (CAP).
interventionAn experimental group and a control group were formed with 19 participants in each. The experimental group took a psycho-educational meditation program for training and practice in mindfulness. MEASUREMENT: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Strain Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Questionnaire were used to measure stress and anxiety levels.
resultsA comparative statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric U test, finding a significant reduction in all the primary-care physician stress and anxiety variables in the experimental group compared to the control group in pretest-posttest and follow-up tests.
conclusionsThe results of this study support the effectiveness of mindfulness development meditation techniques in decreasing stress and anxiety in primary-care physicians. Nevertheless, the study shows various limitations that would have to be corrected in successive studies to bring more validity to the results.
