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

Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of a short video app-guided Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM) intervention in enhancing interpersonal mindfulness, empathy, interdisciplinary collaboration, affective states, and workplace well-being among working professionals. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 100 full-time employees (aged 25-60), randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: Significant group × time interaction effects emerged for all six outcomes. Compared with controls, the intervention group showed greater increases in interpersonal mindfulness ( Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that short video-based LKM is a feasible and effective digital intervention for cultivating prosocial qualities, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being in workplace settings. The study supports integrating compassion-based practices into organizational wellness initiatives to promote employee functioning and workplace harmony.
