Impact of meditation-only interventions on university students' resilience: A pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomised actively and passively controlled trials.

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
University students are at elevated risk of psychological distress, underscoring the need for interventions that promote resilience. Psychological resilience refers to the capacity to withstand or recover from stress. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of meditation-only interventions on resilience in university students compared with active and passive controls and examined whether effects varied by meditation style, intervention intensity, delivery mode or follow-up length. A literature search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science identified randomised controlled trials involving university students who participated in meditation-only interventions and reported resilience-related outcomes. Pairwise random-effects models, mixed-effects meta-regression and network meta-analysis were used to estimate standardised mean differences (SMDs) at postintervention. Eighty-eight studies with 8728 participants were included. The overall effect was -0.11 (95% CI = -0.63 to 0.41, I
