Mindful Attention and Pain Appraisal During Isometric Exercise.

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
Exercise-induced pain is a common and aversive experience that can influence how individuals engage with and persist in physical activity. Pain is not solely determined by sensory input but is shaped by attentional and cognitive processes that influence how bodily sensations are interpreted during exercise. The present study examined how different modes of attentional engagement shape the cognitive appraisal of exercise-induced pain. Recreationally active adults (N = 55) were randomly assigned to use either a mindful associative attentional strategy or a cognitively engaging dissociative strategy (backward counting) during two isometric endurance tasks (forearm plank and wall-sit). Core affect, pain severity, pain tolerance, and mindful reappraisal of pain were assessed during and after exercise. Manipulation checks confirmed robust differentiation of attentional focus and state mindfulness between conditions (
