Digital mindfulness- and acceptance-based stress reduction intervention for individuals looking online for help: protocol for the CRISP randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionPsychosocial stress is a major public health concern, contributing to significant suffering and costs to society. There is a lack of effective interventions that could be offered at an early stage to people who need to reduce their stress in life. Recent advances in psychology have provided evidence-based exercises suitable for testing in an entirely digital intervention. This study aims to estimate the effectiveness of a 12-week digital course in mindfulness- and acceptance-based stress reduction. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The effectiveness of the 12-week digital course will be estimated in a parallel-groups randomised controlled trial, in which the control group will receive referrals to self-studies on mental health information found online. The study population will be individuals 15 or older, seeking help online for stress and who have access to a mobile phone. Employing a Bayesian sequential design, the primary outcome will be monitored monthly, after the 6-month follow-up, to calculate target criteria for when to stop recruiting. Perceived stress (Cohen's 10-item version) will be the primary outcome, with estimands of interest being differences between groups at 3 (immediate), 6 (prolonged) and 12 months (maintained). Mediation analysis will reveal if differences between groups are mediated by acquired equanimity. Effectiveness will be analysed with Bayesian regression models, and mediation will be analysed by using a causal inference framework. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The research was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority on 2024-05-07 (2024-01974-01). The study will reach out to a vulnerable population, and participation may displace efforts to seek professional help. We have built-in automatic advice to seek additional help for participants scoring high on the depression scale at baseline, before allocation to study groups. The findings from this study will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals and presented at relevant national and international meetings. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN39222610.
