Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback for Substance Use Disorder: Health Policy Implications.
Article in Policy insights from the behavioral and brain sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Substance use disorder (SUD) exacts massive individual and public health burdens, in part because of its relapsing nature. First-line SUD treatments aim to strengthen affective and cognitive control to help individuals override impulses to use alcohol and other drugs, yet automatic physiological processes compromised by SUD interact with affective states and the environment, compromising effortful cognitive control and undermining attempts to avoid substance use. While existing first-line SUD treatments may indirectly help offset these vulnerabilities, none target them. Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) involves rhythmic breathing that directly targets these deficits, complementing first-line SUD treatments. HRVB has evolved from a clinic-based treatment to an ambulatory intervention utilizing wearable biosensors and smartphone applications with capacity for just-in-time support of affective and behavioral self-regulation. There is evidence supporting the efficacy of HRVB for SUD, but more research is needed to fully assess HRVB's potential to support SUD recovery and inform policy.
