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
Introduction: The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) is a widespread instrument to assess individual differences in the frequency of mindful states over time, and it has been validated in a variety of populations, countries, and settings. Nevertheless, validation with parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) still remains a gap in the current research field. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to validate the MAAS in Spanish parents of individuals with ASD ( Results: The confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a single-factor model with excellent internal consistency. Measurement invariance according to gender showed satisfactory results in configural and metric analyses, but only partial scalar invariance was confirmed. Moreover, there was evidence for convergent and discriminant validity, with significant relationships between the measures in the expected directions. Discussion: The findings suggest that the 15-items version of the MAAS is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to assess mindfulness attention among Spanish parents of individuals with ASD.
