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

The objective of the present study was to replicate previous studies by examining the potential connections between mindfulness as a trait, life satisfaction and time perspectives (TP) and to analyze if balanced time perspective (BTP) could act as a possible mediator between mindfulness and life satisfaction in students from the University of Girona (Catalonia, Spain). Data was collected from 341 Catalan university students aged 18-52 (77.1% women; mean age = 23.62) who completed Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), the Mindfulness Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) to assess their Temporal Perspective, Mindfulness as a trait and Life Satisfaction respectively. Balanced time perspective (BTP) was calculated using the deviation index of BTP (DBTP). Results showed significant relationships between the various temporal dimensions, life satisfaction, and mindfulness as a trait, being the most significant associations with balanced temporal perspective. On the other hand, results also suggested that BTP may act as a mediator between mindfulness as a psychological trait and life satisfaction, confirming previous studies conducted in different countries. In conclusion, findings could highlight the importance of regulating one's attention in order to balance time perspectives, which in turn would translate into improved life satisfaction.
