Immediate Effect of Modified Bhramari Pranayama on Salivary Nitric Oxide Level among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Xerostomia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of yoga. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequently associated with xerostomia, a condition characterized by reduced salivary flow and a sensation of dry mouth. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a vital role in vasodilation and immune modulation. Modified Bhramari Pranayama (MBhrP), a specific yogic breathing technique, has been reported to enhance endogenous NO production. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to assess the immediate effect of MBhrP on salivary NO levels in T2DM individuals with xerostomia. The secondary objective was to evaluate its effect on heart rate variability (HRV), an indicator of autonomic nervous system activity. Methodology: Sixty-eight eligible participants were randomized into two groups: MBhrP group ( Results: The MBhrP group showed a statistically significant increase in salivary NO levels compared to the control group ( Conclusion: MBhrP appears to have an immediate beneficial effect on salivary NO levels and autonomic function in T2DM patients with xerostomia, suggesting its potential as a nonpharmacological therapeutic tool.
