Facets of mindfulness are associated with inflammation biomarkers in a sample of sexual minority men with HIV.

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
Sexual minority men (SMM) are disproportionately impacted by HIV and thus, HIV related-health complications. HIV has been linked to earlier onset of multi-morbid chronic diseases and declines in physical and cognitive functioning attributable to chronic HIV immune activation and resulting inflammation. Inflammation has been targeted with mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs); however, hypothesized negative associations between mindfulness and inflammation need to be confirmed in SMM with HIV. This is a secondary data analysis of baseline data from a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of SMM living with HIV with biologically confirmed recent methamphetamine use (ARTEMIS). Mindfulness was assessed with the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). Inflammation was assessed via cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Separate adjusted (for age, viral load, CD4 count, and methamphetamine use) regression models evaluated associations between four facets of mindfulness (description, awareness, non-judgement, and non-reactivity) with IL-6 and TNF-α. The average age of the participants was 43.86 (
