Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a clinical trial registry entry for a planned randomized controlled trial comparing nurse-guided diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing exercises plus standard care versus standard care alone in 112 heart failure patients presenting to the emergency department. No results are posted; the study is actively recruiting or has completed recruitment without releasing outcome data. The primary outcomes are change in psychological distress and dyspnea severity measured at baseline and 5–60 minutes post-intervention.

This registry record reports no results; efficacy, safety, and any adverse events are not yet available.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
This is a clinical trial registry record with no posted results; it describes a planned interventional study in an active recruitment phase with surrogate endpoints (symptom scales) and no efficacy or safety data yet available.
As stated by the source record.
Quoted from the source exactly as published.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07752706). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 112 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Heart Failure, Breathing Exercises, Dyspnea, Anxiety. Interventions: OTHER: Diaphragmatic and Pursed-Lip Breathing Exercises. Primary outcome measures: Change in psychological distress measured by the Distress Thermometer , Baseline (before intervention), and at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after initiation of the intervention.; Change in dyspnea severity measured by the Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale , Baseline (before intervention), and at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after initiation of the intervention.. Brief summary: Heart failure is a leading cause of emergency department admissions, with dyspnea and psychological distress being among the most common presenting symptoms. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of nurse-guided diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing exercises on dyspnea and psychological distress in patients presenting to the emergency department with heart failure. A total of 112 eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an intervention group receiving breathing exercises in addition to standard care or a control group receiving standard care alone. Dyspnea severity will be assessed using the Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale, and psychological distress will be assessed using the Distress Thermometer at predefined time points. The findings are expected to provide evidence for the effectiveness of a simple, low-cost, nurse-led non-pharmacological intervention in improving symptom management in patients with heart failure.
