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
purposeThe Bathysmed
methodsThis qualitative phenomenological study interviewed volunteers from the BathysMed arm of the trial. Ten semi-structured individual interviews were analyzed using a semio-pragmatic analysis method with triangulation.
resultsFour categories emerged: 1) the protocol offered disconnection, awe of the underwater world, and transformation of sensory stimuli. This created a meditative experience that fostered mindfulness in daily life. 2) Combined with psychological and dietary support, it raised awareness of psychological disorders and had a therapeutic effect, promoting engagement in the care process. Overcoming difficulties during this experience increased self-esteem and reduced self-stigmatization. 3) Awareness of emotional eating and better management of emotions and stress was a catalyst for behavioral changes: reduced food compulsions, increased physical activity, and pursuit of change. 4) The conditions of the intervention influenced participants' unique experiences. The group had a distinct beneficial effect.
conclusionsThe combined diving and mindfulness program is a synergistic, innovative approach with multidimensional benefits for adults with obesity. The program could be integrated into comprehensive management of chronic conditions to promote lifestyle changes.
