Study of effect of guided meditation on quality of life in patients of end stage renal disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis - a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC complementary medicine and therapies, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06622200 (The Effects of Mindfulness-based Intervention on Trait Mindfulness, Cognitive Reappraisal, Behavioral Suppression, and Quality of Life Among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis.), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
