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

Background: Researchers have found that mindfulness-based interventions can reduce stress and improve mental health in healthcare professionals, as well as support relationship building, communication, and compassionate care. However, few researchers have systematically examined what determines successful implementation in hospital settings, which is essential for integrating research in clinical practice. Objectives: The aim of this study was to synthesize qualitative data regarding healthcare professionals' experiences of factors affecting implementation of mindfulness in hospital settings and outline recommendations for clinical practice. Design: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies. Data sources: A systematic search was conducted in six databases; Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO (Ovid), Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. The inclusion criteria were: 1) Healthcare professionals engaged in patient care in hospital settings, 2) Mindfulness-based interventions defined by Crane and colleagues', and 3) Primary studies using a qualitative design. Review methods: Multiple researchers were engaged in screening, quality assessment, data extraction, and interpretation of the results. Thematic synthesis described by Thomas and Harden guided the data analysis. Reporting followed Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ). Results: Eighteen studies were included. We identified three overall themes of importance for successful implementation: 1) Conclusion: Based on the results, we formulated eight recommendations to guide stakeholders and hospital management in planning implementation of mindfulness in hospital settings. However, to confirm the results, more research where mindfulness implementation is the primary aim is needed.
