Mindfulness promotes pro-environmental behaviors to reduce single-use plastic pollution.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This study examines how mindfulness fosters pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) to address single-use plastic pollution, a critical localized environmental issue. We explore the mediating roles of environmental awareness and cognitive reappraisal in this relationship. Data from 309 university students, were analyzed using Hayes' PROCESS Macro to assess direct and indirect effects. Findings show that mindfulness significantly boosts PEBs, both directly and indirectly, by enhancing awareness of single-use plastic harms. Cognitive reappraisal, while linked to PEBs, has a less pronounced indirect effect, indicating that targeted awareness of specific ecological issues outperforms general cognitive shifts in driving sustainable actions. This effect is particularly strong among nature-connected individuals, suggesting their readiness for eco-friendly behavior. These results advocate for mindfulness-based interventions that prioritize issue-specific awareness to reduce plastic pollution, offering a scalable approach to promote environmental sustainability.
