The effect of yoga on uterine artery Doppler indices, maternal and fetal complications in pregnant women: A quasi-experimental study.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundToday, the effect of yoga has been examined on various physical and psychological dimensions of pregnant women. However, there are still sparse studies on the effect of yoga on the uterine artery indices as well as maternal and fetal complications.
objectiveThe aim was to determine the effect of yoga on uterine artery Doppler indices, maternal and fetal Complications. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quasi-experiential study was conducted, on 100 pregnant women. The participants were assigned to yoga and control groups. In the yoga group, the participants exercised yoga for 1 h. On the other hand, the control group received routine care.
resultsThe results showed that in the yoga group, the functional indices of the uterine artery (S/D, PI, RI, and DN) improved more significantly compared to the control (p = 0.01). The results also showed that in the yoga group, maternal complications (diabetes and preeclampsia), as well as fetal complications (SAG, IUGR), were significantly lower compared to the control (p = 0.01).
conclusionThis study revealed the positive effects of yoga on improving fetal development indices and reducing maternal and fetal complications following pregnancy. It can be used as a Complementary therapy alongside other treatments for mothers.
