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
In recent decades, the educational landscape has undergone rapid transformations, highlighting emotional intelligence (EI) and mindfulness as key constructs for students' well-being and adaptation. This study examines the impact of a structured 12-week school-based mindfulness programme on emotional intelligence in a cross-national sample of students. The sample comprised 207 participants (52.7% from Spain and 47.3% from Italy). In Spain, the mean age was 8.65 years (SD = 0.36) in primary education and 13.71 years (SD = 0.49) in secondary education; in Italy, the mean age was 8.09 years (SD = 0.30) and 13.33 years (SD = 0.43), respectively. Using a quasi-experimental repeated-measures design, EI was assessed at pre-test, post-test, and 5-month follow-up with the EQ-i:YV and analysed using General Linear Models. In line with these objectives, results indicated no significant increase in global EI (
