1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo assess the impact of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on nursing students and identify best practices for integration into nursing education.

designIntegrative literature review guided by PRISMA standards. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase were searched for studies published between 2019 and 2024.

methodsStudies focused on MBIs for undergraduate or graduate nursing students were evaluated using the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Guidelines. Data were synthesized to identify outcomes and implications for education.

resultsFifteen studies met inclusion criteria. MBIs were consistently associated with reductions in stress, anxiety, and depression, and improvements in emotional regulation, self-care, and spirituality. Common strategies included meditation, breathing exercises, guided imagery, and structured training. Benefits consistently short-term, with limited evidence on long-term effects or comparative effectiveness.

conclusionsMBIs show promise in supporting nursing student well-being and resilience but evidence is insufficient to confirm long-term impact on professional burnout. Findings should be interpreted cautiously given variability in study design and outcome measures Future studies should include more diverse populations, evaluate sustained outcomes, and compare delivery methods to guide curricular integration. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
