Remotely delivered mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for spontaneous coronary artery dissection survivors.

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.

Abstract
backgroundAfter spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), 80% of survivor's experience fear of recurrence (FOR) which contributes to poorer clinical outcomes. Although FOR interventions (i.e. mindfulness-based cognitive therapy; MBCT) exist, none have been targeted to SCAD survivors. PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary FOR effects of MBCT for SCAD survivors (UpBeat-MBCT).
methodsIn this single-arm feasibility study, SCAD survivors were recruited from a hospital clinic to participate in UpBeat-MBCT, an 8-week group intervention combining cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, and health behavior promotion. Participants completed surveys of psychological and behavioral variables pre-post intervention, actigraphy, and daily diaries of sleep and physical activity for 7 days pre-post intervention. The primary outcomes were feasibility and acceptability. Exploratory outcomes included changes in psychological and behavioral variables.
resultsSCAD survivors (N = 19) were enrolled across two sequential group cohorts (94% female, 95% non-Hispanic White, Mage = 51). In Cohort 1, results indicated that hearing about SCAD from others was emotionally activating and associated with high attrition (33% retained). Refinements for Cohort 2 included placing boundaries around group discussion, and 90% of participants were retained. Among retained participants across both cohorts (n = 12), program satisfaction was M = 8.3/10 (SD = 1.8), 91% (10/11) would recommend the program, and changes in FOR showed a medium-large effect size for improvement (d = 0.72).
conclusionUpBeat-MBCT is the first FOR intervention for SCAD survivors. When boundaries are set to guide discussion of SCAD, results support the feasibility, acceptability, and benefits of an MBCT group approach and the need for expanded testing.
