Outcomes of a Mindfulness-Based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Trial report in Journal of pediatric and adolescent gynecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a mindfulness-based healthy lifestyle self-management intervention with adolescents and young adults diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
designA pilot randomized controlled trial using a pre-post design was used.
settingCentral Texas.
participantsIndividuals aged 14-23 with a diagnosis of PCOS.
interventionsThe PCOS Kind Mind Program integrates a manualized mindfulness training program (Taming the Adolescent Mind) with health education in 4 key areas of self-management and health promotion: (1) medication adherence, (2) nutrition, (3) physical activity, and (4) sleep.
main outcome measuresPsychological distress, mindfulness, physical activity strategies, nutrition, and exercise self-efficacy.
resultsLinear regression models revealed that those in the PCOS Kind Mind condition reported significantly higher nutrition self-efficacy (β = 6.50, 95% CI, 1.71-11.28, P = 0.013, d = 0.48), physical activity strategies (β = 0.41, 95% CI, 0.04-0.79, P = 0.040, d = 0.67), and physical activity self-efficacy (β = 0.48, 95% CI, 0.07-0.88, P = 0.028, d = 0.46).
conclusionThe PCOS Kind Mind Program improved self-efficacy in the key areas of nutrition and physical activity and increased physical activity strategies in adolescents and young people with PCOS. These findings are encouraging and suggest the need for larger-scale, randomized controlled trials with longer-term follow-up to more robustly evaluate the effects of the PCOS Kind Mind Program on the psychological and physiological health of adolescents and young people with PCOS.
