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

objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the treatment effect of a mindfulness-based intervention for Chinese breast cancer patients across outcome domains, including symptom-related, psychosocial, and quality of life outcomes.

methodsFollowing the Cochrane Systematic Review guideline, we searched across five electronic databases, reference lists of eligible studies, professional websites, and major academic journals in Chinese. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plot and Vevea and Woods sensitivity analysis, and risk of bias was evaluated using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials and risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions. A meta-analysis of Hedges' g was conducted using meta-regression with robust variance estimation.

resultsFinal analysis included a total of 45 controlled trials containing 286 effect size estimates. Across outcome domains, studies reported an overall large and statistically significant treatment effect, d = 0.921, 95% CI (0.805, 1.040), p < 0.001. Subgroup analyses of specific domains of outcome reported overall significant treatment effects for (1) symptom-related outcomes, d = 0.885, 95% CI (0.657, 1.110), p < 0.001; (2) psychosocial wellness outcomes, d = 0.984, 95% CI (0.879, 1.090), p < 0.001; and (3) quality of life, d = 0.990, 95% CI (0.776, 1.200), p < 0.001. Moderator analysis did not identify any significant moderator.

conclusionChinese literature reported an overall statistically significant and large treatment effect of a mindfulness-based intervention for breast cancer patients in China. Except for physical symptom outcomes, e.g., nausea/vomiting and pain, a mindfulness-based intervention was effective across outcome domains among Chinese breast cancer patients.
