Eight weeks of device-guided slow breathing decreases sympathetic nervous reactivity to stress in posttraumatic stress disorder.
Trial report in American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.

Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by increased risk for developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We recently showed that device-guided slow breathing (DGB) acutely lowers blood pressure (BP) and muscle sympathetic activity (MSNA) and improves baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in PTSD. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term benefits of DGB on autonomic function at rest and during stress. We hypothesized that long-term DGB improves arterial BRS and lowers BP and MSNA in PTSD. Twenty-five veterans with PTSD were studied and randomized to either 8 wk of daily DGB (
