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
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and preliminarily assess the quality of a Mindfulness Breast Care (MBC) App to reduce body image distress and stigma among breast cancer survivors (BCSs). Methods: The development process of the MBC App involved: 1) establishing a research group; 2) determining of the content of the MBC App based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and 3) technical exploitation and maintenance. A mixed-methods study was conducted. We selected ten BCSs by a convenience sampling method. After using the APP for three months, five assessed the quality using the Mobile App Rating Scale: User Version (uMARS) and another five were interviewed for process evaluation. Results: The MBC App was developed with three modules: 1) Library to provide health education information on body image, stigma, mindfulness, recovery and etc; 2) Mindfulness Yoga to offer 12 Hatha yoga videos for daily practice; and 3) Mindfulness Practices to have 12 sessions of mindfulness videoconferences. Based on the uMARS data, the MBC App received high ratings for functionality (4.10 ± 0.34), aesthetics (3.93 ± 0.55), information quality (4.10 ± 0.72), and perceived impact (4.03 ± 0.96), as well as moderate ratings for engagement (3.72 ± 0.94) and subjective quality (3.87 ± 0.77). Participants indicated that the MBC App provided reliable knowledge, information, and emotional support. Recommendations from participants included categorizing knowledge in the Library Module, recording videoconferences of mindfulness practice, and adding discussion sessions in the videoconference. Afterward, we optimized the MBC App to enhance the user experience accordingly. Conclusions: The MBC App offers online mindfulness interventions specifically for BCSs in China. The preliminary quality assessment indicates that the MBC App may be a promising tool for delivering mindfulness interventions to BCSs.
