Therapeutic potential of flower fragrance diffusion on heart rate variability among hospitalized patients.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a non-invasive measure of autonomic nervous system activity and may be influenced by environmental odors. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effect of flower fragrance diffusion on HRV in hospitalized patients. Thirty adults admitted to obstetrics and chemotherapy wards underwent baseline HRV assessment, 60-minute flower fragrance exposure and post-intervention HRV recording. Hedonic responses were rated on an 11-point scale pre- and post-exposure. Fragrance diffusion significantly increased HRV parameters including SDNN (p<0.05), rMSSD (p<0.01) and pNN50 (p<0.001), with improved hedonic ratings (p<0.001). Hedonic responses were positively correlated with HRV (r=0.42, p<0.01), suggesting flower fragrance diffusion favorably modulates HRV and emotional responses, suggesting potential benefit as a supportive intervention in clinical wards.
