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

Mindfulness training holds unique value in enhancing decision-making, particularly under uncertainty. Against the backdrop of Chinese fresh graduates facing mounting employment pressure, widened wealth gaps, and a heightened tendency for high-risk decisions, this study draws on Risk Sensitivity Theory (RST) and the Self-Control Resource Model (SCM). Employing a 2×2 mixed experimental design, it explores the effect of a 4-week mindfulness training on final-year undergraduate students' risk decision-making. Forty-four students were divided into a Mindfulness Group and a Control Group, with assessments conducted using uncertainty decision tasks and the FFMQ-20 scale. Results indicate the Mindfulness Group exhibited a significant reduction in high-risk decision probability and shorter decision reaction time. The findings suggest that short-term mindfulness training can suppress reliance on intuitive thinking and enhance prudent decision-making. These results are discussed within the theoretical frameworks of Risk Sensitivity Theory and the Self-Control Resource Model.
