The multimodal neurophysiological assessment of immediate LiuZiJue: revealing executive control and brain function changes.
Trial report in Frontiers in neurology, 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: This study investigated the immediate effects of LiuZiJue breathing practice on executive control and its associated neural correlates using a multimodal approach combining behavioral testing, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Methods: A randomized crossover design was conducted in 20 healthy young adults. Participants completed Stroop task performance and TMS assessments under LiuZiJue and control conditions (eyes-closed rest). Resting-state fMRI and task-based fNIRS recordings were additionally acquired to examine brain activity and functional connectivity changes. Results: LiuZiJue significantly reduced Stroop reaction time compared with both baseline and control conditions ( Conclusion: LiuZiJue was associated with changes in behavioral performance, cortical excitability, and large-scale brain activity in healthy young adults. These findings suggest potential modulation of executive-related neural processes; however, causal interpretations and underlying mechanisms should be considered cautiously given the exploratory nature of the study and limited sample size.
