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
Objective: Hospitalized women with high-risk pregnancies are particularly vulnerable to psychological distress and relational strain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief inpatient mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program in improving psychological distress and marital satisfaction. Methods: Fifty-seven pregnant women (24-28 weeks' gestation) hospitalized for premature rupture of membranes were randomized to either an 8-week brief MBSR program or treatment-as-usual. Fifty-three participants completed the study. Outcomes included psychological distress assessed by the distress subscale of the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-28), mindfulness measured by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and marital satisfaction assessed by the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (KMSS), assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and 4-week postpartum follow-up. Repeated-measures ANOVA with Greenhouse-Geisser correction was performed. Results: Significant time × group interactions were observed for mindfulness, anxiety, depression, and marital satisfaction (all Conclusion: A brief inpatient MBSR program may reduce psychological distress and improve marital satisfaction among hospitalized women with high-risk pregnancies. Larger multicenter trials with extended follow-up are warranted.
