However, we urge caution and advocate for nuanced research approaches with low risk-of-bias study designs to avoid a miscalibration between hype and evidence. So after searching through 1325 papers and systematically summarizing 12 randomized controlled trials, this is the result? This has kept multiple professors busy…

Lol I’m wearing a pulse oximeter and it never drops below 90%
at 90% you're bordering on sever hypoxia, I would not recommend this for the general public
But I totally recommend breathwork ... to myself and I don't even wear a pulseoximeter.

A true control seems impossible for any "breathwork" study; anyone doing regimented breathing knows that they are doing something . And placebos work, whether you believe in them or not (say the studies ...)
If you can't show that a breathing exercise is better than e.g. same time spent on stretching, then there's not much point in doing (separate) breathing exercises at all.

I like it but maybe we need a non-abbreviation, maybe we could call it something like “abstract” or “executive summary” depending whether our audience is academic or commercial.
It could be like a summary of what follows. Oh, and what about like a SUPER short summary above that, like just one sentence about what its about, call it like a, "leader" or "header" or something like that?

It's a pretty strong message that the effect has not been proven. I was personally under the opposite assumption, having seen reporting on some of the earlier research.
The message is that the effect has (may have) been proven since "showing breathwork was associated with lower levels of stress than control conditions".
