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

Introduction: Growing evidence shows that voluntary breathing maneuvers modulate cortical oscillations, yet the precise frequency-specific signatures of functional connectivity (FC) remain unclear. Methods: This study investigated the impact of different respiratory conditions on brain FC using EEG recordings. Three respiratory conditions were collected and analyzed: self-paced breathing (SB), breath-holding (BH), and computer-paced breathing (PB). The power spectral density (PSD), phase-locking value (PLV), and brain network characteristics were analyzed for these different conditions. Results: The results all showed significant differences. The PSD analysis revealed increased low-frequency ( Discussion: These findings highlight the complex interplay between respiratory conditions and brain FC. These findings suggest that controlled and uncontrolled breathing patterns can influence brain network organization, a mechanistic observation that may inform future respiratory-based interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive function, although behavioural or affective outcomes were not assessed here.
