Decline in the Use of Medicalized Yoga Between 2002 and 2012 While the Overall Yoga Use Increased in the United States: A Conundrum.
Article in Journal of evidence-based complementary & alternative medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We analyzed the National Health Institute Survey Alternative Medicine supplement yoga data for 2002, 2007, and 2012 to answer the following questions: (1) Do the claims about increase in the use of yoga hold true at the level of specific health problems? (2) Do trends support a proposition that yoga is believed to be helpful in amelioration of disease conditions? (3) Do the prescribing patterns of health care providers correspond with the increasing popularity of yoga? Data were analyzed using SAS software, version 9.4. Response percentages were compared using chi-square test after adjusting for age. Between 2002 and 2012, use of yoga increased but adherence failed to increase, and use for specific health problems and for back pain declined; use of health care providers' referral-driven yoga declined between 2007 and 2012. All results were statistically significant. Our results suggest that the use of medicalized yoga declined between 2002 and 2012.
