1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThere is minimal literature describing trait mindfulness in people who stutter and how aspects of trait mindfulness might relate to treatment outcomes and the experience of stuttering. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in trait mindfulness in people who stutter compared to people who do not stutter to better inform the appropriateness of including mindfulness strategies in a comprehensive stuttering treatment plan.

methodSeventeen adults who stutter and 17 adults who do not stutter completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire to measure trait mindfulness as well as either the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering or the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Speaking Ability to measure the impact of stuttering or speaking experiences on their lives. A subset of 16 adults who stutter completed a battery of assessments on personal characteristics associated with the experience of stuttering (experiential avoidance, repetitive negative thinking, and inattention characteristics). This allowed for comparisons of trait mindfulness between people who stutter and people who do not stutter as well as for analyses of the potential relationships between trait mindfulness and speaking experience within each population and of various personal characteristics in people who stutter.

resultsNo significant differences in trait mindfulness were found between people who stutter and people who do not stutter. A strong negative correlation was found between the trait mindfulness facet of nonjudging of inner experiences and experiential avoidance.

conclusionFindings highlight the necessity of a comprehensive understanding of the specific characteristics of individual speakers when incorporating aspects of mindfulness into stuttering treatment.
