1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Recent research studies have established the fact, that glycosylation is causing the memory decline and this is further supported by the alteration of brain metabolite concentrations in diabetes. The present study is hypothesized that yoga is having alienating ability of memory decline and alteration of frontal lobe metabolite concentrations, which are the result of glycosylation in type 2 diabetes. Five type 2 diabetic subjects of both the sex, aged between 35-55 years, who practiced yoga over a period of six months in a yoga institute, were recruited as test group. Age and sex matched five type 2 diabetic subjects were recruited as control group, both the group subjects are on oral hypoglycaemic agents. Glycosylated haemoglobin percentage was estimated with Bio-Rad instrument, frontal lobe metabolites were estimated with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (H-MRS), memory was calculated with PGI-Memory Scale (PGIMS) that is a part of PGI-Battery of Brain Dysfunction (PGI-BBD), which is a neuropsychological battery. Mean glycosylated haemoglobin percentage and memory dysfunction rating in control and test group subjects are 6.9±0.4 & 7.8±1.84 (p=0.03), and 14±1& 6±1 (p=0.0001) respectively. Right and left frontal lobe N-Acetyl Aspartate (NAA) and Myoionositol (mI) concentrations were more or less similar in both the groups. Yoga is having a significant role in alienating the decline in memory caused by glycosylation in type 2 diabetes but not on the alteration of frontal lobe NAA and mI concentrations.
