1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of body scan mindfulness training as an intervention for patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Methods: This randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial enrolled patients with BMS who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were assigned to a control group or an intervention group using a random number table. The control group received pharmacological treatment and routine psychological care, while the intervention group additionally received two weeks of body scan mindfulness training. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were used to assess pain intensity, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and oral health-related quality of life, respectively, at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. The efficacy of body scan mindfulness training for patients with BMS was evaluated by comparing changes in the primary outcome measure (VAS) and secondary outcome measures (ISI, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and OHIP-14) between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: A total of 80 patients were enrolled in this study; 3 were lost to follow-up, and 77 patients (38 in the control group and 39 in the intervention group) were included in the analysis. The median changes (P Conclusion: For patients with BMS, implementing body scan mindfulness training alongside conventional drug treatment has proven effective in alleviating the intensity of oral burning pain, improving sleep quality, and reducing anxiety and depression. These findings suggest that body scan mindfulness training is a promising adjuvant therapy for patients with BMS receiving conventional drug treatment, and warrants broader clinical adoption.
