1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: College students face stressors like academic workload, competition, time management and financial concerns, which affect their psychological, physiological and cognitive functions. Meditation techniques can help mitigate these challenges. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the influence of the Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT), a meditation method, on cognitive functions and psychophysiological variables among college students. Methods: Fifty experienced yoga practitioners (aged 19-30 years, with 30 of them being female) participated in a randomised controlled study. The subjects were split into two groups at random: the meditation group ( Results: The MSRT group exhibited significant changes in HRV at baseline, during the Stroop task and post-task conditions, along with significant cognitive and psychological changes. The study found significant differences in cognitive tasks [accuracy rate ( Conclusion: MSRT appears to have the potential to enhance cognitive and psychophysiological functions in college students. In this regard, MSRT may be implemented to alleviate the effects of stressful environments and improve the overall well-being of college students.
