Beyond mindfulness: the importance of body compassion in colorectal cancer distress.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Psychological distress is common among people diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC), often stemming from physical changes and challenges associated with the disease and its treatment. Body compassion, a mindfulness-related construct emphasizing acceptance, defusion, and common humanity of the physical body, may offer new perspectives on the link between mindfulness and distress in cancer patients, but this remains unexplored. This study investigated the relationship between mindfulness, body compassion, and distress in individuals with CRC. Methods: Fifty-four people diagnosed with CRC completed surveys assessing demographic and medical characteristics [e.g., stage, treatment status, medical comorbidities (SCQ: Self-Administered Comorbidity Questionnaire)], mindfulness (FFMQ-15), body compassion (BCS), and distress (HADS). Relationships were assessed with Holm-corrected Pearson's correlations. Regression models of mindfulness and distress explored a potential mediating effect of body compassion. Interactions between body compassion and disease burden variables (e.g., SCQ) were explored for moderation. Results: Mindfulness and body compassion were moderately correlated ( Conclusions: Among individuals with CRC, body compassion appears to be a key factor within the mindfulness-distress relationship. Future studies are warranted, particularly experimental designs to assess body compassion as a potential mechanism by which mindfulness-based interventions improve distress.
