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: Rajayoga meditation is form of meditation that is offered by Rajayoga Education and Research Foundation of Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. It is free of ritual and mantras and can be performed anywhere and anytime. The Rajayoga meditation practice can have beneficial effects on modulating anxiety and cortisol levels in breast cancer patients undergoing surgery. Aims: To evaluate the impact of Rajayoga meditation on preoperative and postoperative anxiety, hemodynamic parameters, and serum cortisol levels in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Materials and Methods: The study was randomized controlled trial carried out in a tertiary care center. Sixty female patients of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II, aged 30-70 years, scheduled to undergo elective MRM under general anesthesia were included. The patients were randomized into two groups namely, Group R, Rajayoga group ( Results: In this study, it was observed that anxiety levels, serum cortisol, and hemodynamic parameters of the patients before the surgery were comparable between the two groups. However, on second postoperative day, patients who underwent Rajayoga meditation had significantly reduced anxiety, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and serum cortisol levels. These results suggest that Rajayoga meditation may be an effective nonpharmacological intervention for stress reduction and physiological stabilization in surgical patients. Conclusion: Rajayoga meditation significantly reduces anxiety, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and serum cortisol levels in patients undergoing MRM.
