Effect of Buteyko Breathing Technique as an Adjunct to Routine Physiotherapy on Pulmonary Functions in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a substantial and increasing public health concern in India, particularly among individuals aged 20 and above. The postoperative phase following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery presents potential complications, notably impacting the pulmonary system. Emerging evidence suggests that the Buteyko breathing technique not only improves lung function but also positively influences the psychological well-being of CABG patients. This study seeks to assess the impact of the Buteyko breathing technique on pulmonary functions in individuals who have undergone off-pump CABG. Materials and methods: In this randomized controlled trial, patients undergoing off-pump CABG were allocated to either the Buteyko breathing technique group ( Results: Statistical analyses were conducted with a significance level set at Conclusion: The integration of the Buteyko breathing technique into conventional physiotherapy proves to be a beneficial strategy, leading to improvements in pulmonary function, breath-holding duration, and chest expansion for individuals who underwent off-pump CABG surgery.
