Effects of Slow Breathing Exercises on Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Applied psychophysiology and biofeedback, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06098222 (The Effect of Slow Breathing Exercise Applied to Patients After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Pulse, Blood Pressure and Quality of Life), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of slow breathing exercises performed following primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on the heart rate, blood pressure, and quality of life of patients. Data were collected from patients admitted to the cardiology inpatient clinic of a hospital in Türkiye after primary PCI between October 2023 and November 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 34) and control (n = 33) groups. The intervention group performed slow breathing exercises twice daily for 10 min over an 8-week home follow-up period. Both groups monitored their heart rate and blood pressure at home during this time. Data were collected using a "Patient Information Form" and the "MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire" at discharge, as well as at the 4th and 8th weeks post-discharge. In all follow-up measurements, the quality of life of the patients in the intervention group was significantly better than that of those in the control group. Throughout the follow-up period, the antihypertensive medication doses of the patients in the control group needed to be increased significantly more. Slow breathing exercises increased the quality of life and reduced the heart rate and diastolic blood pressure values of patients following primary PCI. The exercises led to decreases in heart rate and blood pressure immediately after they were performed.Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov, TRN: NCT06098222, Registration date: 5 October 2023.
