A randomized controlled trial of yoga vs nonaerobic exercise for veterans with PTSD: Understanding efficacy, mechanisms of change, and mode of delivery.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03509909 (Mechanisms of Change in Yoga and Physical Activity for Veterans), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic, disabling, and prevalent mental health disorder among Veterans. Despite the availability of empirically supported psychotherapies, many Veterans remain symptomatic after treatment and/or prefer to seek complementary and integrative health approaches, including yoga, to manage PTSD. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) described herein will evaluate the efficacy of a manualized yoga program as compared to nonaerobic exercise in reducing PTSD severity among Veterans. A secondary aim of this study is to better understand the mechanisms of change.
methodsVeterans ( PROJECTED OUTCOMES: This study will evaluate changes in PTSD severity (primary outcome) as well as depression, anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and psychosocial disability (secondary outcomes). We will also use multiple mediation to examine two potential models of the mechanisms of clinical effect: the Attention Model (i.e., yoga increases attentional control, which reduces PTSD symptoms), the Coping Model (i.e., yoga increases distress tolerance, which improves coping, which reduces PTSD symptoms), and the combination of these models. This aspect of the study is innovative and important given the absence of an existing, comprehensive model for understanding yoga's impact on PTSD. Ultimately, we hope to develop guidelines for application of yoga to PTSD recovery.
