Integrated Mindfulness and Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Improves Cardiopulmonary Performance and Psychological Stress in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Trial report in Canadian respiratory journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) training on cardiopulmonary function, oxygen delivery efficiency, and psychological stress in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
methodsA total of 50 clinically stable PAH patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (N = 25) and a control group (N = 25). The intervention group received a 6-week program combining MBSR and standardized CR, while the control group received conventional health education and standard pharmacological management. Cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, hemodynamic parameters, and psychological stress levels were assessed before and after the intervention.
resultsAfter 6 weeks, the intervention group showed significantly improved percentage of predicted peak oxygen uptake (84.3 ± 12.1% vs. 71.2 ± 13.4%, p = 0.001), oxygen delivery (1650 ± 410 mL/min vs. 1388 ± 375 mL/min, p = 0.022), and arterial oxygen content (18.5 ± 2.1 mL/dL vs. 17.1 ± 1.8 mL/dL, p = 0.015). Hemodynamically, pulmonary vascular resistance significantly decreased (415 ± 265 vs. 586 ± 310 dyn·s/cm
conclusionMBSR combined with CR significantly improves cardiopulmonary exercise performance, oxygen transport capacity, and hemodynamic function in PAH patients, while also reducing psychological stress levels. This combined intervention demonstrates good safety and promising clinical applicability.
