Effects of group mindfulness intervention on high-level distance runners: a quasi-experimental study.

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
Introduction: This study explored the impact of the Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) program, adapted for elite distance runners. Methods: Twenty Hungarian national and international-level athletes participated in a quasi-experimental design. The experimental group ( Results: Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group across most variables, particularly flow and cognitive anxiety, with no changes in the control group. Discussion: These findings highlight the effectiveness of a group-based mindfulness program in enhancing mental well-being and performance in elite runners. The scalable, structured format offers a practical alternative to traditional sports psychology approaches for high-performance athletes.
