Enhancing autonomic regulation and attention through galvanic skin response and peripheral temperature biofeedback in female volleyball players: a randomized pilot trial.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundBiofeedback (BFB) is widely used to manage stress and anxiety in competitive athletes; however, its effects on cognitive domains such as attention remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multimodal BFB intervention on autonomic function and sustained attention in female volleyball players.
methodsTwelve national-level female volleyball players were recruited and randomly assigned to either a BFB group (n = 6; M
resultsANCOVA results revealed significant improvements in PT (p = 0.020, η² = 0.673) and error percentage on the d2 attention test (p = 0.045, η² = 0.346) for the BFB group compared to the CG. Significant changes were observed in GSR, PT, and d2 attention test parameters from pre- to post- intervention following 15 sessions of BFB training in the BFB group (p < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in the CG (p > 0.05).
conclusionThese preliminary results suggest that a 5-week multimodal BFB (GSR and PT focused) intervention may improve autonomic functions and cognitive performance in competitive female athletes. Further research with larger samples and diverse athletic populations is warranted to support or refute these findings and assess their generalizability. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The study protocol was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Registration No: NCT07061834) on 01/07/2025. Ethical approval was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University prior to study initiation (Approval No: 02-2024/26; Date: 23/01/2024).
