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

Mindfulness, a psychological capacity, is often diminished in patients with breast cancer. This decline can negatively impact mental and physical health, behavioral regulation, and interpersonal relationships. Consequently, interventions to enhance mindfulness are crucial. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of logotherapy on mindfulness levels in patients with mastectomized breast cancer in Isfahan, Iran. This randomized controlled trial (IRCT20240310061242N1| 24/03/2024) investigated the effects of logotherapy on mindfulness in 64 patients with mastectomized breast cancer at Seyyed-al-Shohada Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Participants were recruited via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to either the intervention (n = 30) or control (n = 34) group. The intervention group received eight logotherapy sessions (twice a week, 45-60 min each) over four weeks. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-39). SPSS 22 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and ANCOVA were used. The level of statistical siginificance was determined at α = 0.05. After the intervention, the control group's mean (SD) mindfulness score was 121.17 (13.78), and the intervention group's mean (SD) score was 129.76 (17.05). Data analysis using ANCOVA showed a significant difference in mindfulness between the control and intervention groups after the intervention (p = 0.003). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between occupation and mindfulness only in the intervention group (p = 0.01). Given the significant impact of logotherapy on enhancing mindfulness in patients with breast cancer, it is recommended that logotherapy be used as an effective method to improve patients' well-being.
