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
introductionMenopause affects nearly one-third of women's lives and is associated with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms-including sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations, and reduced quality of life-that represent a significant public health concern. While pharmacological treatments carry well-documented risks, evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) remain understudied in this population, particularly with respect to multiple psychosocial outcomes. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on quality of life, life satisfaction, sleep quality, and mental well-being among menopausal women.
designA randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest control group design.
methodsThe study was conducted between February 28 and December 22, 2025, at a primary healthcare center in Türkiye. A total of 84 menopausal women were included (intervention: n = 43; control: n = 41). Data were collected using the Utian Quality of Life Scale, Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The intervention group participated in an 8-week MBSR program, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 26.0).
findingsCompared with the control group, participants in the MBSR group demonstrated significant improvements in quality of life, life satisfaction, and mental well-being, along with significant reductions in sleep disturbances (p < 0.001). Within-group analyses showed significant improvements across all outcomes in the intervention group (p < 0.001), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe MBSR program was associated with improvements in psychosocial well-being and sleep quality among menopausal women. These findings suggest that MBSR may be a beneficial non-pharmacological approach for managing menopausal symptoms.
