Mindfulness-based pain management for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Chronic pain is a significant global public health challenge. There is substantial evidence supporting the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions for chronic pain. Mindfulness-Based Pain Management (MBPM) is an 8-week mindfulness-based behavioral intervention program designed to help individuals manage chronic pain. However, the available evidence regarding the effects of the MBPM program in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain is limited. Materials and methods: Adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain were randomly assigned to either the MBPM program group or the waiting-list control group. The MBPM program group received 150 min sessions once a week for eight weeks in addition to usual care. The waiting-list control group only received usual care. The primary outcome was pain acceptance, measured using the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) at week 8. Secondary outcomes included pain acceptance at week 26, as well as pain intensity, pain-related disability, health-related quality of life, psychological well-being, pain self-efficacy, mindfulness, self-compassion, and adverse events at weeks 8 and 26. Results: Forty participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the MBPM program group ( Conclusion: In this randomized controlled trial, the MBPM program did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on pain acceptance compared with the waiting-list control. Nevertheless, between-group comparisons favored MBPM for self-compassion at week 8, and mindful awareness at week 26. However, these findings require confirmation and should be interpreted exploratory. Larger and methodologically rigorous trials with longer follow-up periods are warranted to further evaluate the effectiveness of MBPM for individuals with chronic pain.
