A randomized controlled trial of mindfulness: effects on academic stress, academic burnout, and psychological resilience in university students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Introduction: Academic stress, academic burnout, and reduced psychological resilience are prevalent among university students, particularly during examination periods. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week structured mindfulness training program in improving these outcomes. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 153 undergraduate and graduate students who were randomly assigned to a mindfulness intervention group ( Results: At the primary endpoint (Week 8), the intervention group showed significantly lower academic stress compared with the control group ( Discussion: The findings indicate that structured mindfulness training significantly decreases academic stress and burnout while enhancing psychological resilience among Chinese university students. These results support the value of integrating mindfulness-based programs into higher education mental health initiatives.
