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

Background: Prior adversity may retune autonomic regulation and impede the ability to access a calm physiological state that would support mindful awareness, which is the facet of mindfulness focused on being present and accepting of the current moment. We investigated (1) how mindful awareness relates to cumulative adversity, autonomic reactivity, and current functioning; and (2) whether mindful awareness ameliorates the negative impact of cumulative adversity and autonomic reactivity on current functioning. Methods: Participants ( Results: Regression analyses revealed that the strongest predictor of greater mindful awareness was lower autonomic reactivity, which minimized the impact of cumulative adversity. Mediational analyses suggested that autonomic reactivity may mediate the relationship between cumulative adversity and mindful awareness. Regression analysis suggested higher autonomic reactivity remained the strongest predictor of poorer current functioning. Conclusion: Our research suggests that individuals with adversity histories may need to address both their mindful awareness and autonomic dysregulation to improve their current functioning.
