Mindfulness in Technology: Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of VR-Assisted Meditation Among Veterans With Disabilities.
Trial report in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. 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
Veterans with physical disabilities may experience substantial psychological burden (e.g., PTSD symptoms) and practical barriers to accessing conventional mental health services. VR-assisted meditation could offer a low-threshold alternative, but evidence in this population remains limited. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a VR-assisted meditation programme for veterans with disabilities. In a randomized controlled trial, 40 US veterans (mean age = 42 years) were assigned to either (a) weekly VR-assisted meditation sessions or (b) a no-intervention control condition. Psychological well-being (WHO-5), mindfulness (SMS), system usability (SUS) and user satisfaction (QUEST 2.0) were measured at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up. Compared with controls, the VR group showed higher post-intervention scores, with the clearest gains observed for psychological well-being and perceived system usability. Scores decreased slightly at follow-up but remained above the control condition. The pattern of benefits did not appear to differ by baseline anxiety level. VR-assisted meditation may be a feasible and acceptable approach for supporting well-being in veterans with disabilities. High perceived usability may support short-term engagement; however, the present findings are preliminary and do not establish clinical effectiveness or durability.
