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

contextIndividuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) require resources to prevent or self-manage complications in order to maintain optimum functioning and well-being. Rehabilitation literature suggests that mindfulness as an internal psychological resource can play a crucial role in promoting self-management and improving health and well-being.

objectivesWe sought to identify and synthesize existing evidence on the role of mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions in health and well-being outcomes among adults with SCI.

methodsWe conducted a scoping review, searching evidence across four electronic databases, CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science, for articles published between 2000 and 2023. Additional articles were searched from the reference list of identified articles.

resultsOf 354 articles identified in the search, 20 were included in the scoping review. Thirteen studies were interventional in design, while the other seven included cross-sectional and qualitative designs. Some interventional studies examined mindfulness as the major component of the interventions, whereas other studies integrated mindfulness as one component of the intervention program. Overall, mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions were associated with a range of health and well-being outcomes among individuals with SCI.

conclusionsMindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions appear to positively impact health and well-being in adults with SCI. However, mindfulness interventions were inconsistent in terms of content, delivery frequency, and duration. It is essential to develop multifaceted, tailored mindfulness interventions utilizing a consumer-based approach and established theories of mindfulness and mindfulness-based practices for adults with SCI.
