The moderating and mediating effects of mindful compassion with body-mind-spirit therapy using a blended approach of face-to-face with online for breast cancer patients' depression during COVID-19: A randomized controlled trial.

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
Objectives: To test the effectiveness of mindful compassion integrated with body-mind-spirit (BMS) therapy delivered through a blended face-to-face and online approach for breast cancer patients. Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) assigned 39 breast cancer patients to either a blended group (partial face-to-face and online sessions) or an online-only group. Both received eight weeks of therapist-guided mindful compassion with BMS group therapy. Assessments were conducted at baseline (T0) and then at 2nd (T1), 5th (T2), and 8th (T3) months, covering quality of life (QOL), anxiety, depressive symptoms, and meaning in life (MLQ). Results: Both the blended and online-only formats improved depressive symptoms, MLQ presence, and QOL functioning. The higher anxiety reductions were in favor of the online-only group. The blended program had a stronger impact on alleviating depression and anxiety for patients with higher initial depressive symptoms and greater breast cancer-specific distress. Increased mindfulness was linked to fewer depressive symptoms through better QOL functioning. Conclusions: Both delivery formats appear feasible and may provide psychological benefits for breast cancer patients. Future research is needed to determine the optimal balance between face-to-face and online sessions and to clarify the mechanisms underlying these effects.
