Association of mindfulness to resilience, anxiety, and depressive symptoms after spinal cord injury-a correlational study.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
STUDY
designOnline survey of individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
objectiveThis pilot study examined associations between mindfulness factors, resilience, and levels of depression and anxiety after SCI.
settingCommunity-based; United States.
methodsA survey was posted online and shared with individuals with recent SCI (≤5 years).
resultsThirty-four individuals responded to the survey. The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) measures mindfulness with the following subscales: observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging of inner experience, and nonreactivity of inner experience. Nonjudgment of inner experience was significantly associated with depression (β = -0.74, p = 0.007) and anxiety (β = -0.60, p = 0.01). Nonreactivity to inner experience was significantly associated with anxiety (β = -0.57, p = 0.007) and resilience (β = 0.55, p = 0.004); and there was a trend with depression (β = -0.45, p = 0.07). Higher resilience was significantly associated with less anxiety (r = -0.62, p = 0.04) and less depression (r = -0.75, p < 0.001). Depression and anxiety were significantly correlated (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). When comparing those who are employed to those who are not, they differed significantly in terms of anxiety (t(32) = 2.53, p = 0.02).
conclusionsThese findings suggest that factors of mindfulness, specifically the practice of acting nonjudgmentally and nonreactively to one's inner experience, may act as protective factors against depression and anxiety following SCI. These preliminary data support the literature that individuals with lower resilience are more susceptible to depression following SCI. Interventions aimed at maximizing mental well-being following SCI may benefit from incorporating these factors of mindfulness practice.
