“Until recently, only a few overview and opinion papers [71–76] on the potential types of distress associated with meditation in the context of clinical research and practice have been published.”
From Unpleasant meditation-related experiences in regular meditators: Prevalence, predictors, and conceptual considerations (2019) · cites this paper as [71]
In the citing paper
“Yet it has taken almost four decades of research before the literature acknowledged that there might be a bias towards exaggerating the clinical benefits of meditation practice and dismissing its potential adverse effects (4 -6).”
From Adverse events in meditation practices and meditation‐based therapies: a systematic review (2020) · cites this paper as [4]
In the citing paper
“Many participants experience difficulty meeting practice requirements (around 30–45 minutes per day), and report that they lack the time to integrate mindfulness practice into their daily routines (Dobkin et al., 2012; Kabat-Zinn et al., 2017; Lomas et al., 2015; Wyatt et al., 2014).”
From Feasibility and acceptability of mindful recovery opioid use care continuum (M-ROCC): A concurrent mixed methods study (2021) · cites this paper as Dobkin et al., 2012
In the citing paper
“Regarding MBIs, Randomized Control Trial studies do not usually report possible UEs, and therefore we have no information about their prevalence [13].”
From Unwanted effects: is there a negative side of meditation? A multicentre survey (2017) · cites this paper as [13]
In the citing paper
“Despite the long-term use and evidence-based efficacy of meditation and mindfulness-based interventions, there is still a lack of data about the possible unwanted effects (UEs) of these practices.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
