A Web-Based Mind-Body Intervention (Mindful Steps) for Promoting Walking in Chronic Cardiopulmonary Disease: Insights From a Qualitative Study.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01551953 (BEAM COPD), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
Background: Given the deleterious effects of physical inactivity in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF), interventions that promote long-term daily physical activity are needed. Mindful Steps, designed to promote walking behaviors in COPD and HF, is a multicomponent intervention that integrates mind-body content with other self-regulatory components. The aim of the current qualitative study was to characterize participants' experiences with Mindful Steps and understand the perceived influence of the intervention on walking and health. Method: In the context of a pilot randomized controlled feasibility trial comparing the year-long Mindful Steps program to usual care among individuals with COPD and HF, semi-structured qualitative interviews were administered at 6- and 12-months. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. The constant comparative method was used to code transcripts, identify categories, and develop interrelated themes. Results: Nineteen participants (63% female; Conclusions: The mind-body content of Mindful Steps appeared to positively influence walking behaviors. Participants' experiences with the intervention helped to identify areas for future intervention refinement. Future quantitative work is needed to corroborate these qualitative findings and assess the efficacy of the intervention on long-term physical activity engagement. Trial Registration: This trial is registered in Clinical Trials.gov, ID number NCT01551953.
