Yoga for cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: Health-related quality of life outcomes.
Trial report in Cancer medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03292328 (Yoga for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast and GYN Cancer Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
backgroundYoga is a meditative movement therapy focused on mind-body awareness. The impact of yoga on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is unclear.
methodsWe conducted a pilot randomized wait-list controlled trial of 8 weeks of yoga (n = 21) versus wait-list control (n = 20) for CIPN in 41 breast and gynecological cancer survivors with persistent moderate to severe CIPN. HRQOL endpoints were Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). The Treatment Expectancy Scale (TES) was administered at baseline. We estimated mean changes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from baseline to weeks 8 and 12 and compared arms using constrained linear mixed models.
resultsAt week 8, HADS anxiety scores decreased -1.61 (-2.75, -0.46) in the yoga arm and -0.32 (-1.38, 0.75) points in the wait-list control arm (p = 0.099). At week 12, HADS anxiety scores decreased -1.42 (-2.57, -0.28) in yoga compared to an increase of 0.46 (-0.60, 1.53) in wait-list control (p = 0.017). There were no significant differences in HADS depression, BFI, or ISI scores between yoga and wait-list control. Baseline TES was significantly higher in yoga than in wait-list control (14.9 vs. 12.7, p = 0.019). TES was not associated with HADS anxiety reduction and HADS anxiety reduction was not associated with CIPN pain reduction.
conclusionsYoga may reduce anxiety in patients with CIPN. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03292328.
