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

Introduction: Experiencing oneness or nondual awareness has long been considered a core aspect of spirituality and an aim of meditation and spiritual practice. Oneness experience may lead to well-being and has various adaptive functions in everyday life. However, there has been a lack of comprehensive measures of oneness experiences that are grounded in the consensus-based reports of experienced meditation practitioners. The purpose of this study is to develop a new measure of oneness experience that is psychometrically robust and suitable for research on mindfulness, spirituality, and well-being. Methods: Scale items were developed based on prior collective intelligence research and a comprehensive literature review and were subsequently reviewed by five content experts. The dimensionality of the scale was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a large sample of participants ( Results: Results revealed an 84-item scale with 21 factors, including: Discussion:
