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: Prior data suggests the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: (MBI) Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC) has good inter-rater reliability, but many raters knew teacher experience level. Objective: We sought to further evaluate the MBI-TAC's inter-rater reliability and obtain preliminary data on predictive validity. Methods: We videorecorded 21 MBSR teachers from academic and community settings. We trained 19 experienced MBI teachers in using the MBI:TAC. MBSR teachers were rated by three assessors; teachers and their assessors did not know one another. To assess predictive validity, MBSR students in courses taught by 18 of the MBSR teachers were invited to complete PROMIS-29 measures before the MBSR course, at the end of the course (month 2), and month 4. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) representing a single rater ranged from 0.33 to 0.56 on the 6 MBI:TAC domains. Using an average of two raters, ICC estimates ranged from 0.48 to 0.71 and ICCs generalizing to an average of three raters ranged from 0.6 to 0.8. Among n = 152 participating MBSR students, we found improvements from baseline to 2 months and 4 months in PROMIS measures of Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Sleep, and Social Role function (range in improvement 2.3 to 6.3, Conclusions: ICCs indicated good reliability using an average of three ratings, but inter-rater reliability was only fair using a single rater. We found initial validation that higher MBI:TAC ratings predicted greater improvements in anxiety symptoms in MBSR participants.
