Tailored Internet-Delivered Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Transarterial Chemoembolization: Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPatients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) experience significant psychological distress, impacting outcomes. While mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are beneficial, access is limited. Internet-delivered MBIs (iMBIs) offer an accessible alternative; yet, qualitative understanding of patient experiences with tailored iMBIs for this specific population is lacking.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers of patients with HCC post TACE and participated in tailored iMBIs.
methodsFrom November 2020 to December 2022, 11 patients with HCC post TACE who had taken part in tailored iMBIs were purposively recruited from a tertiary hospital in Jilin Province. Data were collected through semistructured interviews lasting 30-60 minutes. The interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis.
resultsFive main categories emerged from the analysis: (1) mindfulness mindset, including acceptance, calmness, and mood improvement; (2) improvement of physical discomfort, such as better sleep, pain relief, reduced gastrointestinal symptoms, and increased activity levels; (3) resistance to mindfulness practice, including perceived lack of effectiveness, unsuitable conditions, equipment limitations, and difficulty concentrating; (4) support and encouragement, involving social support, supervision, and professional guidance; and (5) accessibility and convenience characterized by restoration of life balance and user-friendly features of the practice. Each category encompassed several subcategories reflecting the diverse experiences of participants.
conclusionsWhile iMBIs were generally perceived as convenient and accessible, challenges such as equipment limitations were noted. Future implementation should focus on enhancing supportive factors to improve adherence, minimizing barriers, and refining the design and delivery of iMBI programs.
