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

Oncology nurses face multiple challenges that affect both themselves and their patients. Mindfulness, as a personality trait, can be cultivated through well-designed practices and may serve as an effective strategy for maintaining nurses' well-being. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the value and usefulness of mindfulness practice for oncology nurses. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Elsevier databases in September 2024 using the keywords: oncology nurses, haematology nurses, mindfulness, professional quality of life, compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, burnout, stress, resilience, and wellbeing. English-language studies published between 2010 and 2024 concerning the trait of mindfulness were included. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria; eight were interventional and implemented mindfulness-based programs. Various assessment tools were used across studies. Interventions were delivered either in person, via audio materials, or through mobile applications. Most were based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) principles or other mindfulness approaches such as the Zentangle method. The intervention studies were generally well-accepted by oncology nurses and demonstrated positive outcomes. Most findings supported the benefits of developing and applying mindfulness in daily clinical practice. Reported improvements included professional quality of life, resilience, stress management, sleep quality, and overall physical and psychological well-being. Despite the limited number and heterogeneity of studies, the overall evidence highlights mindfulness as a promising and effective approach to enhance the well-being and professional satisfaction of oncology nurses.
