Mindfulness-Based Breathing Exercise on Health Profile, Vital Signs, and Fetal Heart Rate in Pregnant Women Diagnosed With Pre-Eclampsia: A Randomized Control Trial.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThis study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness-based breathing exercise on health profile, vital signs, and fetal heart rate in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.
methodThis is a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected between October 1, 2023, and March 19, 2024, with a sample of 66 pregnant women who were randomly assigned to the mindfulness-based breathing exercise (n = 33) or control (n = 33) groups. The experimental group received 20 minutes of mindfulness-based breathing exercise every 8 hours for 72 hours. The primary outcomes of the study were health profile, vital signs, and basal fetal heart rate. Secondary outcomes of the study are health profile sub-dimensions and fetal movement count.
resultsCompared to the control group, a 59.2% positive increase over time in the health profile of the mindfulness-based breathing exercise group was observed. Additionally, there was a 10% decrease in pain, 11.4% decrease in emotional reactions, 80.7% increase in sleep quality, 13.3% decrease in social isolation, 38.8% increase in physical activity, and 87.1% increase in energy level, 9.8% decrease in mean pulse rate, 15.8% decrease in respiratory rate, 73.1% increase in oxygen saturation, 7% decrease in systolic blood pressure, and 6.4% decrease in diastolic blood pressure, 6.5% increase in mean fetal movement count was determined. At the fourth measurement, the experimental group had a higher mean basal fetal heart rate than the control group.
conclusionMindfulness-based breathing exercise can be safely used as a care intervention to improve the health profile of pregnant women with pre-eclampsia.
