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
Background: Attention regulation is crucial for mindfulness practice; however, the influence of baseline attention ability on mindfulness training outcomes remains underexplored. This study examined the effects of a brief mindfulness intervention on attention and investigated whether baseline inattention symptoms moderated these effects in meditation-naïve university students. Methods: This study employed a pretest-posttest, between-groups experimental design. Meditation-naïve university students ( Results: Both groups showed increased post-intervention P3b amplitudes, an electrophysiological indicator of attention. However, the mindfulness group exhibited a significantly greater increase compared to the control group. Importantly, inattention symptoms moderated this effect: participants with higher inattention symptoms in the mindfulness group showed a greater increase in P3b amplitude, while those in the control group showed a decrease. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of considering individual attentional profiles when designing mindfulness-based interventions. Tailoring mindfulness training based on baseline attention levels may enhance its cognitive benefits. Future research should explore additional potential moderators of mindfulness training outcomes and clinical conditions (e.g., anxiety or depression) that may influence attentional functioning and responsiveness to mindfulness practice.
