The effectiveness and applicability of mindfulness intervention in psychological adaptation after sports injury: a systematic review.
Review in Australian journal of psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 systematic review aimed to explore the role of mindfulness interventions (MI) in the psychological adaptation of athletes following injuries. Methods: Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this study conducted a systematic review of the effects of MI on the psychological adaptation of injured athletes. Results: The synthesized evidence indicates that MI has diverse positive effects on the psychological adaptation of injured athletes. These effects include reduced anxiety and depression, increased pain tolerance, elevated mindfulness levels, improved acceptance levels, and enhanced psychological well-being. Additionally, this study discusses the application of MI, considering factors such as dosage, timing, methods (online vs. offline, group vs. individual), implementers, and types of intervention. It also identifies four limitations: unverified efficacy, restricted applicability to specific injuries, minimal impact on physiological recovery, and potential adverse effects. Conclusions: This research provides valuable insights into the positive impact of MI on the psychological adaptation of injured athletes. It emphasizes the necessity for standardized protocols and highlights research gaps in optimal dosage, timing, and potential adverse effects.
