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

Mounting evidence suggests that the long-term effects of trauma and adversity are rooted not only in psychological distress, but in persistent dysregulation of the body's stress response and its associated neuroendocrine systems. This physiological dysregulation has emerged as a critical contributor to health outcomes, yet remains under-addressed in conventional clinical care. Emotional states are integrated with core physiological functions through dynamic, bidirectional autonomic signaling between the heart, lungs, brainstem, limbic system, and higher cortical areas. This interconnected network enables conscious regulation of breathing, heart rhythms and emotions to influence autonomic and higher cortical functions. Research has demonstrated that heart rhythm patterns become more ordered during HeartMath's
