Using Contemplative Medicine to Harness Compassion in the Palliative Care Setting: Lessons Learned.
Article in Palliative medicine reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Burnout is common among palliative care clinicians caring for patients with a serious illness. Contemplative medicine is an emerging approach that aims to utilize Buddhist concepts of mindfulness, insight, and compassion to address unspoken suffering in clinicians. Objectives: To introduce and share contemplative medicine practices with Hospice Palliative Medicine (HPM) fellows participating in two academic programs in New York. Methods: Pilot educational sessions in contemplative medicine were conducted following a Contemplative Medicine Fellowship's relationship-centered and cohort-based curriculum. A short survey assessing HPM fellows' attitudes toward core competencies in contemplative medicine was administered to seven HPM fellows. Results: Participants agreed that being present with those who are suffering are healing acts by themselves and that contemplative medicine can complement HPM fellows' skillsets when providing care to patients with serious illnesses. Common themes like "being awake" and "low self-compassion" were discussed by participants during the sessions. Techniques like pausing and mindful breathing were found helpful to practice throughout a busy workday. Discussion: Incorporating contemplative medicine practices into an HPM fellowship may provide opportunities to (1) promote learner emotional development and (2) teach learners self-awareness of how difficult emotions can affect communication with patients.
