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 and Aims: Emotional intelligence (EI) and spiritual intelligence (SI) are critical for nursing students, enabling them to manage stressors effectively and deliver high-quality, compassionate care. Pranayama, a yogic breathing technique, is known to enhance psychological well-being. This study investigates the effects of ujjayi pranayama on EI and SI in final-year nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted among employed 46 final-year nursing students from Kerman University of Medical Sciences in southeastern Iran The participants were included in the study via a census method and were randomly assigned to either an intervention group ( Results: EI significantly improved in the intervention group (from 100.17 ± 15.69 to 126.11 ± 16.81; Conclusions: These findings suggest that short-term Ujjayi Pranayama practice is an effective, low-cost strategy to enhance EI in nursing students, potentially improving their readiness for emotionally demanding clinical environments. Incorporating such practices into nursing curricula may foster emotional resilience in future professionals.
