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
objectiveThe study aimed to test a mindfulness compassion-based intervention for breast cancer survivors serving as peer counselors, exploring whether mindfulness influenced depressive symptoms via a serial pathway of self-compassion, compassion to others, anxiety reduction, and improved quality of life.
methodThis 8-month study adopted the randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. Survivors who are diagnosed with breast and complete treatments for at least one year were recruited from outpatient department of the General Hospital Breast Center and non-profit organization. They were randomly assigned into MC-BMS experimental group (the 8 weekly mindfulness compassion-based integrated with body-mind-spirit group therapy), and BMS control group (8 weekly body-mind-spirit group therapy).
resultsThere was a similarity in increasing general QOL functioning between the BMS and MC-BMS groups. The better improvements in QOL symptoms distress were more favored in MC-BMS than BMS groups. For within-group analyses, significant improvements in the MC-BMS group were depressive symptoms, search for meaning, mindfulness, while the BMS group showed significant improvements in global health, and breast cancer-related functioning. The three serial mediation pathways indicated that increases in mindfulness predicted greater self-compassion, which was associated with increased compassion to others. This, in turn, led to reduced anxiety, enhanced quality of life and breast cancer-related functioning, and ultimately, reduced depression.
conclusionsEnhancing mindfulness and compassionate processes in peer-counselor training serve a central role in improving anxiety and functional quality of life, thereby alleviating depressive symptoms in breast cancer survivors.
