Mindfulness training modulates EEG oscillations and improves shooting accuracy in competitive stress.

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
Background: Rifle shooting requires low arousal and precise motor control. Mindfulness training is theorized to support these demands, but systematic evidence of its neurocognitive and performance benefits under authentic competitive stress in elite shooters is scarce. This study aimed to examine whether a 7-week Mindfulness-Acceptance-Insight-Commitment (MAIC) program enhances attentional neural efficiency and shooting performance in elite 10m air rifle athletes under standardized competitive stress. Methods: Fourteen elite shooters were randomly allocated to a mindfulness group ( Results: Stress induction successfully elevated anxiety in both groups ( Conclusions: A 7-week MAIC intervention may be associated with improvements in attentional regulation, specific changes in EEG oscillatory activity (increased α), and a descriptive within-group enhancement in shooting performance under competitive stress in elite rifle athletes. The programme offers an evidence-based, sustainable psychological training model for precision sports.
