Dispositional mindfulness in climbers with different levels of experience.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This cross-sectional study investigated whether climbing experience is associated with higher levels of dispositional mindfulness and its related key mechanisms. A total of N = 203 climbers-comprising 33 leisure and novice climbers, 85 moderately experienced climbers, and 85 experienced climbers-primarily from Germany (113 women, 86 men, and three non-binary individuals, aged between 20 and 61 years) completed five self-report questionnaires to test the hypotheses concerning mindfulness (measured with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire), attention regulation (measured with the Attention Control Scale), and emotion regulation (measured with the Brief Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale) across varying levels of climbing experience. In addition, the study examined the relationship between climbing experience and body awareness (measured with the Embodied Mindfulness Questionnaire), and non-attachment (measured with the Short Form of the Non-Attachment Scale). Experienced climbers scored higher than moderately experienced climbers on the non-judging facet of dispositional mindfulness. In contrast, moderately experienced climbers reported significantly higher overall values of emotion regulation in the sub-scales of clarity, strategies, and non-acceptance compared to experienced climbers. Furthermore, the climbing and meditation experience was associated with attention to and awareness of bodily sensations. To conclude, the experience of climbing is only related to the non-objective facet of dispositional mindfulness. The observed advantages in emotion regulation among experienced climbers suggest that sustained engagement in climbing is associated with an agentic emotional experience.
