Structured puppy video viewing improves physiological and psychological stress responses in office workers.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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
Introduction: Psychological stress impairs both mental health and physiological function, making it a major occupational health risk for office workers. Although non-pharmacological emotional interventions have gained attention, scientific evidence for structured animal-based video content remains scarce. This study investigated whether structured puppy video viewing improves stress responses and compared outcomes between normal blood pressure (BP) and elevated BP office workers. Methods: Sixty-six participants (36 for normal BP, 30 for elevated BP) took part in a non-randomized pre-post intervention, viewing structured puppy videos for 15 min. Systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP) and pulse rate were measured as physiological outcomes; psychological outcomes were assessed with the 20-item State Anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) and with the 30-item the Korean Profile of Mood States-Brief (K-POMS-B), summarized as Total Mood Disturbance (TMD). Results: In normal BP group, SBP decreased by 3.16 mmHg ( Discussion: These findings suggest its potential as a scalable, non-pharmacological approach to support workplace stress management.
