Effects of mindfulness-based intervention on glycemic control and psychological outcomes in people with diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07779044 (Effectiveness of A Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Program on Quality of Life and Glycosylated Hemoglobin Control of People With Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
AIMS/
introductionPsychological therapies have showed benefits for both glycemic control and psychological outcomes in people with diabetes. However, the effects of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on glycemic control and psychological outcomes are inconsistent across studies, and the evidence for MBI has not been summarized. We aimed to identify the effects of MBI on glycemic control and psychological outcomes in people with diabetes by carrying out a systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsSix databases (Pubmed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of science and PsycINFO) were searched from inception to October 2019. Randomized controlled trials of MBI for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes were included. Two authors independently extracted relevant data and assessed the risk of bias, with a third reviewer as arbitrator. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were also carried out.
resultsEight studies with 841 participants met the eligibility criteria. Meta-analysis showed that MBI can slightly improve glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c; -0.25%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.43 to -0.07) and diabetes-related distress (-5.81, 95% CI -10.10 to -1.52) contribute to a moderate effect size in reducing depression (standardized mean difference -0.56, 95% CI -0.82 to -0.30) and stress (standardized mean difference -0.53, CI -0.75 to -0.31). Subgroup analyses showed greater HbA1c reductions in subgroups with baseline HbA1c levels <8% and follow-up duration >6 months. Mixed effects were observed for anxiety.
conclusionsMBI appears to have benefits on HbA1c, depression, stress and diabetes-related distress in people with diabetes. More rigorous studies with longer follow-up duration are warranted to establish the full potential of MBI.
