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.

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.

Abstract

The aim was to assess the effectiveness of an intervention comprising a teacher-training program and the implementation of a ten-session mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in regular classroom teaching for 16- to 24-year-old students in Denmark. In a cluster-randomized trial (2019-2021), upper secondary schools and vocational schools for social and health care were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive the intervention (21 schools, 35 teachers, 438 students) or teaching-as-usual (22 schools, 38 teachers, 551 students). Eighteen self-report measures of mental health were collected at baseline, three, and six months, with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) as the primary outcome. Intention-to-treat analyses were conducted using mixed-effects linear regression and bootstrapping. Fourteen intervention schools (n = 277) and 17 teaching-as-usual schools (n = 419) provided follow-up data. No statistically significant effect on the primary outcome (SWEMWBS) was found in the total population. However, a small positive effect on SWEMWBS was observed among females in upper secondary schools at three months, but not sustained at six months.
