Efficacy of Deep Breathing Exercise and Range of Motion Exercise on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) commonly experience elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Non-pharmacological interventions, like breathing and physical exercises, may offer psychological benefits. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of diaphragmatic breathing and range of motion exercises on reducing depression, anxiety, and stress in CKD patients on hemodialysis. Methods: A total of 116 HD patients were randomly assigned to intervention ( Results: Baseline DASS-21 scores showed no significant difference between groups (intervention: 12.05 ± 3.39; control: 12.97 ± 3.51; Conclusion: Diaphragmatic breathing and range of motion exercises significantly reduce depression, anxiety, and stress levels in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis, supporting their use as effective adjunct therapies.
