Effect of Mind Sound Resonance Technique on Pulmonary Function and Smoking Behavior among Smokers - A Prospective Randomized Control Trial.
Article in International journal of yoga. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Smoking is one of the leading causes of death in the world, and the respiratory tract is the major body system affected by smoking. Yoga has shown promising effects in improving lung function in previous studies. Mind sound resonance technique (MSRT) is one of the Yoga-based relaxation techniques, which improves internal awareness and reduces impulsivity. Aim: Hence, we aimed to assess the efficacy of MSRT on pulmonary function and smoking behavior among smokers. Methodology: A total of 197 subjects were screened among whom 80 were recruited and randomly allocated (1:1) to a study group (SG) ( Results: There were no baseline differences across all parameters between the two groups. There was a statistically significant change in all pulmonary function variables including FVC ( Conclusion: The practice of MSRT might help in improving the lung function and also reduce the withdrawal symptoms, craving, urge, and negative affect among smokers. Hence, it can be explored as a low-cost, easy to self-administer, and adjuvant intervention in aiding smoking cessation among smokers.
