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
backgroundThe mindfulness level of hospitalized elderly is influenced by factors such as physical health, emotional resilience, and social support. However, little is known regarding the relationship between medical coping styles and mindfulness levels of hospitalized elderly. The aims of this study were to explore the association between medical coping styles and mindfulness levels in hospitalized elderly patients, with a focus on identifying actionable strategies to enhance patient well-being.
methodsA survey of 253 elderly patients was conducted in the Department of Geriatrics of a 3 A hospital in Tangshan from September to November 2022 using the General Questionnaire, Medical Coping Style Scale (MCMQ), and Mindfulness-Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS).
resultsThe average mindfulness level score of the hospitalized elderly was (59.71 ± 13.90), with a scoring rate of 66.34%, at a moderate mindfulness level. This study revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.725, P < 0.05) between confrontation coping and mindfulness, highlighting the importance of promoting active coping strategies to improve mindfulness levels in elderly patients.
conclusionThe mindfulness level of the hospitalized elderly shows potential for improvement, their coping styles are closely related to their mindfulness level, and positive coping styles can help improve the mindfulness level of the hospitalized elderly. This study suggested that medical staff can consider formulating targeted interventions, contingent upon available resources and training, guide patients to establish positive coping styles, and improve the mindfulness level of hospitalized elderly people.
