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.

Abstract

objectiveThe purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in breast cancer patients.

methodsA systematic search of Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO database, Web of science, Medline, EMBASE, CNKI, and CBM database was carried out from February to May 2018, with no language restrictions. Trials examining the effects of MBSR versus control group on symptom variables and health-related quality of life were included. Data concerning studies, patient characteristics, and outcomes were extracted. Methodological quality of each included randomized controlled trials were assessed individually by two reviewers independently using criteria recommended in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 5.1.0. Meanwhile, Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate methodological quality of non-randomized studies.

resultsIn all, 14 studies involving 1505 participants were included. Due to the effect of MBSR, statistically significant results were found on physiological function (SMD = 0.28, 95% CI [0.07, 0.049], P = 0.008), cognitive function (SMD = 1.48, 95% CI [0.34, 2.61], P = 0.01), fatigue (SMD = - 0.66, 95% CI [- 1.11, - 0.20], P = 0.004), emotional wellbeing (SMD = 1.01, 95% CI [0.35, 1.67], P = 0.003), anxiety (SMD = - 0.54, 95% CI [- 1.01, - 0.07], P = 0.02), depression (SMD = - 0.61, 95% CI [- 1.11, - 0.11], P = 0.02), stress (SMD = - 0.48, 95% CI [- 0.81, - 0.15], P = 0.004), distress (SMD = - 0.56, 95% CI [- 0.85, - 0.26], P = 0.0002) and mindfulness (SMD = 0.94, 95% CI [0.10, 1.79], P = 0.03). Although the effects on pain, sleep quality, and global QoL were in the expected direction, they were not statistically significant (P > 0.05) based on insufficient evidence.

conclusionsMBSR is worthy of being recommended to breast cancer patients as a complementary treatment or adjunctive therapy.
