Can Mindfulness-Based Interventions Be Used to Treat PTSD-derived GI Disruptions in Black Women? A Review of Current Literature.
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
backgroundThis review explores unique racial and trauma-related constructs associated with gastrointestinal conditions (GCs) in Black women, offering culturally relevant contemplative solutions for healing and holistic well-being. Additionally, we investigate the potential of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in mitigating stress-induced GCs within this demographic. Guided by two theoretical frameworks, the Superwoman Schema (SWS) and critical feminist theory, the study unravels how cumulative stress, or allostatic load, intersects with socio-contextual factors, contributing to debilitating psychological and physiological health issues. Their intersectionality influences both individuals' presentation in clinical settings and the quality of care they receive.
methodsEmploying subject-related term searches alongside a coupling technique, we elucidated a unique progression of GCs in Black women, guided by their distinct experiences. The search resulted in 11 papers: 2 on the stress and trauma of Black women, 2 on external trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) risk, 2 on stressors affecting gut health, 2 on GCs in Black individuals, 2 on mindfulness and comorbidities, and 1 on incorporating mindfulness in the Black community.
resultsThe findings underscore a relationship between psychological stress, trauma, and GCs, mainly affecting Black women. Moreover, MBIs have promising effects on relationships and self-worth, supporting trauma recovery among the population.
conclusionBy merging frameworks addressing racism and trauma's impact on gut health, this review uncovers pathways for understanding how these factors specifically manifest in Black women. This highlights the potential of targeted MBIs as promising avenues for treating GCs in the population and for promoting overall well-being through culturally sensitive methods.
