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

The scientific community is actively exploring the effects of breath-related practices on the emotional, physiological, and cognitive functioning of human beings. It is no longer the singular realm of exploration of the spiritual communities. A thorough search of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar was performed to locate pertinent articles on respiratory entrainment of hippocampal waveforms and its relationship with memory. The search utilized terms such as "hippocampal waveforms," "respiratory entrainment," and "phase-amplitude coupling (PAC)," which were combined using Boolean operators (AND, OR). There is no dearth of literature indicating consolidation, retrieval, and escalation of memory encoding with breath-related practices. However, the underlying mechanisms linking breath and brain cognition in human beings require further rigorous scientific exploration, which is still in a primitive stage. Nasal airflow during inhalation stimulates various structures in the brain and interferes with hippocampal waves. These hippocampal waves are modified by the nature of respiratory rhythm through hierarchically organized PAC. In addition, research proposes that nasal breathing organizes neuronal activity across the brain and accomplishes intricate behaviors, including memory. Apparently, as hippocampal respiration-induced rhythm tracks breathing, controlled breathing practices can be framed as an active interference mechanism to secure hold over one's mind and cognition. Hence, in this article, we discuss an overview of the emerging literature on how the physiological regulation of nasal breathing is linked with the neural and cognitive processes.
