Mindfulness and its association with academic performance in medical students.
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
Mindfulness is a type of awareness achieved through purposeful attention, in the present moment and without judgment, to current events at any moment. This study investigates the association between mindfulness and academic performance among final-year medical students. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 285 final-year medical students. Data were collected using a checklist of demographic characteristics, student grade point average, and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and analyzed in SPSS-24 software. The average grade point average was 16.01 ± 1.07. The mean total mindfulness scores were 125.96 ± 13.00 with a range of scores (92-172). Therefore, mindfulness was at a relatively high level. Among the mindfulness components, the highest score was in the observation dimension (3.49 ± 0.68), and the lowest was in the non-judgment dimension (3.01 ± 0.62). There was a weak and positive correlation between mindfulness and the interns' grade point average, which was statistically significant (P-value = 0.019, d = 0.12). Given the existence of this relationship, university educational officials can consider programs to strengthen the mindfulness of clinical students as one of the factors for improving academic performance.
