Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundEarly childhood education (ECE) caregivers experience high levels of stress and increased physical and emotional work demands. Promoting mindfulness practices may be an acceptable and feasible strategy to bolster mental health and well-being. The present study's goals were to explore the 1) perceptions and 2) cultural differences surrounding mindfulness practices and mental health among Spanish-speaking Hispanic (SSH), English-speaking Hispanic (ESH), and English-speaking non-Hispanic (ESNH) informal ECE caregivers. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeventeen informal caregivers participated in semi-structured individual interviews between July 2021 and January 2022. Using NVivo12 software, an inductive, qualitative thematic content analysis was conducted to identify themes in the caregivers' discourse.
resultsAll three groups of caregivers expressed the desire to make time for themselves, their physical health, and their mental health when discussing self-care. However, two main barriers and challenges related to mindfulness practices reported by all three caregiver groups included lack of time and frequently feeling tired after a long day of work. Other key results and suggestions for practicing mindfulness are provided.
conclusionThe findings from this study show that mindfulness practices among informal ECE caregivers may be deemed acceptable and considered a valuable tool to support mental health in caregiver communities.
