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
Background: Perceived stress and anxiety are common psychological issues among college students. Traditional mindfulness interventions effectively ameliorate these psychological issues, while digital mindfulness interventions-an emerging approach-are gaining increasing attention owing to their convenience and accessibility. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital mindfulness in reducing perceived stress and anxiety among college students and to explore its potential effects on mindfulness. Methods: The study employed a randomized controlled trial design and recruited 310 university students aged 18-22 years, randomly assigned to the intervention ( Results: At the end of the intervention, the intervention group reported significantly lower levels of perceived stress and anxiety and considerably higher levels of mindfulness. In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes in perceived stress, anxiety, or mindfulness levels. Conclusions: The 4-week digital mindfulness intervention effectively reduced perceived stress and anxiety levels and increased mindfulness among college students.
