Verdict 3001 · Evidence Check

Stored-material review date: Not recorded  
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07  
Review-criteria version: 1.1  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-18

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: Adults with hypertension continued medication and lifestyle management. Mittal has 91 randomized and 68 completed; preserve original 23 withdrawals and 25.3% attrition. Age, baseline pressure, comorbidities and arm allocation/analysis denominators are unverified. Ghiya has a separate 100-participant acute HRV report.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: The study added a combined alternate-nostril breathing program preceded by abdominal breathing to standard care. This is not converted into standalone alternate-nostril, other pranayama or combined-yoga effects. Component contributions, actual delivery, instruction and adherence are unverified.
- Dose: Original study identifiers are 2 minutes of abdominal breathing followed by 10 minutes of alternate-nostril breathing, 12 minutes daily for 6 weeks. Actual exposure, adherence and discontinuation are unverified. This plan is not turned into personal breathing procedures, medication reduction/replacement or treatment instructions.
- Comparator: Combined breathing added to standard management versus standard management alone. Actual medication types, doses, changes, lifestyle care and contact/attention controls are unverified. Ghiya's other-pranayama comparator is a separate acute HRV context.
- Measured outcome: The selection is final 6-week SBP: breathing 139.14±12.5 versus control 147.79±12.8 mmHg, between-group P<.01. The meaning of ±, denominators, adjusted between-group effects and 95% CIs are unverified. Crude final-value difference -8.65 mmHg is an existing record, not adjusted change, ITT or a personal effect. DBP P>.05 and HRV are separate.
- Duration: Direct SBP context spans 6 weeks; Ghiya is an acute HRV comparison. Post-training persistence, harm follow-up, medication changes and long-term clinical events are unverified. Short-term final values are not extended into long-term effects or treatment replacement.
- Questions outside this scope: Transferring final values, crude differences, P or ± into baseline-adjusted effects, 95% CIs, ITT or personal effects; Extending the combined abdominal-first adjunct into standalone alternate-nostril breathing, other yoga or medication replacement; Counting DBP, acute HRV or multiple measures from one report as independent 6-week SBP replication; Turning randomized, completed, withdrawn or other-report participants into unique-participant totals or new calculations; Turning the CTRI identifier into NCT, verified prospective endpoints or reading registration originals; Using public/academic support, original C with 50 points or caution as new independence, precision or safety certification; Creating new numbers, grades, breathing procedures, medication reduction/replacement or treatment instructions

Record level: Complete-case final values from the direct combined 6-week SBP adjunct. Preserve 91 randomized, 68 completed and original 23 withdrawals/25.3% attrition. Crude final-value difference -8.65 mmHg is not adjusted change or ITT; the meaning of ±, exact arm denominators and adjusted effects/95% CIs are unverified.  
Independent replication: Mittal SBP, DBP and HRV are measures from one stored report; Ghiya compares acute HRV with another pranayama. Report/cohort relationships and unique-trial/participant totals are unverified. Repeated measures, randomized/completed/withdrawn participants and other questions are not counted as new independent SBP trials or participant totals.

Findings recorded in the summary: Between-group HRV was null  
Record level: Separate 100-participant acute HRV comparison with another pranayama; preserve the original between-group null result. This is not independent 6-week SBP replication; population, arm denominators, measure-specific effects/CIs and report-family relationships are unverified.  
Independent replication: Mittal SBP, DBP and HRV are measures from one stored report; Ghiya compares acute HRV with another pranayama. Report/cohort relationships and unique-trial/participant totals are unverified. Repeated measures, randomized/completed/withdrawn participants and other questions are not counted as new independent SBP trials or participant totals.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Met: The original content has been reviewed as meeting the conditions. This status is not used in this preparation.
- Partly verified: Some information in the stored summary was linked during preparation; clinical verification or review is not complete.
- Unverified: Required direct values, definitions or materials have not been established within the current storage and reading scope. This does not mean zero effect, no papers or failed access.
- Review incomplete: Awaiting user review, or actual review remains incomplete.
- Not reported: Used only when original materials were actually read and the outcome was judged unreported. Not used for external materials unread in this work.
- Inaccessible: Used only when an actual access attempt has a recorded failure. Not used for access that was not attempted in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Indicates insufficient direct materials for the relevant scope or conditions; it is not a new grade.
- Not applicable: Used when the reason it does not apply to the original question is stated.
- Conflicting data: Retains the scope of conflicting statements in original materials; it is not an arbitrary reassessment.
