Online mindfulness meditation for mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia: A feasibility study protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06768450 (Online Mindfulness Meditation for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between normal aging and mild dementia. Patients with MCI and dementia usually experience impairment in cognitive functions such as memory, executive function, and processing speed. They may also develop neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and agitation. While previous studies suggest that mindfulness meditation may benefit this population, the feasibility of delivering such interventions online remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of an eight-week, online-delivered mindfulness program for people with MCI and mild dementia.
methodsThis study will recruit 32 participants over 60 years old with MCI or mild dementia in the UK. Participants will attend a weekly live online mindfulness meditation session, led by an experienced mindfulness teacher for eight weeks. Each session lasts 2.5 hours. In addition, participants will be encouraged to do daily home practice. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of an online program, assessed through participation records and semi-structured interviews. Secondary outcomes include participants' changes in cognitive function, mood, sleep, quality of life, mindfulness, and resilience. DISCUSSION: Mindfulness meditation delivered online could help reduce travel burdens and overall costs. This study aims to assess the usability and potential effects of online-delivered programs for this population, providing evidence to support the use of remote interventions in the care of older adults with cognitive impairments.
