Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) training: the efficacy on fatigue and sleep quality of Iranian female patients with cancer.
Trial report in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe present study aimed to examine the efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) training on fatigue and sleep quality of Iranian female patients with cancer.
methodThirty female patients with cancer were randomized to one of the MBCR and control groups. Subjects of the MBCR group received 8 sessions of MBCR training, while subjects of the control group received a 1-day didactic stress management seminar (SMS). All participants responded to the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFT) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (PSQL) as pre- and post-test measures.
resultsUsing MANCOVA for analyzing data revealed a significant improvement in the level of fatigue among subjects of the MBCR group compared to the controls; however, MBCR had no significant effect on the level of sleep quality.
conclusionThe Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery program can be considered an effective approach to reducing fatigue for Iranian female patients with cancer. The clinical implications of this finding require further investigation.
trial registrationThe study was registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) on 24 June 2024; see [IRCT20240315061296N1].
