Effects of Compassion Meditation on Psychological Status in Patients With Diabetes: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Western journal of nursing research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with diabetes often experience significant psychological distress, contributing to poor diabetes self-management and complications. Meditation may reduce psychological distress, but most meditation interventions have been lengthy and burdensome to both participants and interventionists. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preliminary effects of a 4-week compassion meditation intervention with recorded Zoom sessions (30-40 minutes/session) on psychological factors (depressive symptoms, diabetes distress, self-compassion, resilience, self-esteem, and self-efficacy) in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
methodsIn this pilot randomized controlled trial, participants were recruited via ResearchMatch. Baseline and 4-week follow-up data on all the study variables and demographic characteristics were collected via Research Electronic Data Capture from April to July 2025. After baseline, each participant was randomly assigned to the intervention or control group based on a computer-generated list of random numbers. Independent samples
resultsBetween-group analyses showed higher levels of diabetes self-efficacy and lower diabetes distress in the intervention group (
conclusionsThis brief, virtual compassionate meditation intervention showed favorable effects on several psychological factors. It may be implemented to enhance psychological statuses in patients with diabetes.
