Immediate effects of short-term meditation on sensorimotor rhythm-based brain-computer interface performance.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Meditation has been shown to enhance a user's ability to control a sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)-based brain-computer interface (BCI). For example, prior work have demonstrated that long-term meditation practices and an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training have positive behavioral and neurophysiological effects on SMR-based BCI. However, the effects of short-term meditation practice on SMR-based BCI control are still unknown. Methods: In this study, we investigated the immediate effects of a short, 20-minute meditation on SMR-based BCI control. Thirty-seven subjects performed several runs of one-dimensional cursor control tasks before and after two types of 20-minute interventions: a guided mindfulness meditation exercise and a recording of a narrator reading a journal article. Results: We found that there is no significant change in BCI performance and Electroencephalography (EEG) BCI control signal following either 20-minute intervention. Moreover, the change in BCI performance between the meditation group and the control group was found to be not significant. Discussion: The present results suggest that a longer period of meditation is needed to improve SMR-based BCI control.
