Alternate Nostril Breathing to Reduce Stress: An Option for Pregnant Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence?
Synthesis in Journal of holistic nursing : official journal of the American Holistic Nurses' Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStress resulting from intimate partner violence (IPV) on pregnant women causes and sustains poor health and contributes to poor pregnancy and birth outcomes. Appropriate interventions to reduce stress in this population of women are warranted.
objectiveTo present a systematic review and the state of the science of evidence on alternate nostril breathing (ANB) as a holistic intervention for stress reduction for pregnant survivors of IPV, framed by complex adaptive systems theory and psychoneuroimmunology. DATA SOURCES: Eight databases and reference lists of potential articles. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials published between January 2013 and July 2019.

methodPRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.
resultsANB is effective in reducing stress, as measured by psychological and biological indicators. LIMITATIONS: Studies were limited in ethnic and gender diversity, most of the populations being Asian Indian and predominately male.
conclusionsUse of ANB as a safe and effective holistic intervention for stress reduction shows promise, but research in pregnant survivors of IPV is limited. IMPLICATIONS: Stress reduction benefits may be significant for pregnant survivors of IPV and their fetuses, with minimal risk.
