Article in Complementary therapies in clinical practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07303998 (Feasibility and Effect of Remotely Supervised Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation With Chair Yoga for Chronic Knee Pain Management in Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias.), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundand Purpose: Social isolation and caregiver burden call for an innovative way to deliver a chair yoga (CY) intervention to older adults with dementia who cannot travel to a community center. During a remotely supervised CY session, the yoga instructor can monitor each participant's pose and correct poses to optimize efficacy of CY and reduce chances of injury. This study assessed the feasibility of a remotely supervised online CY intervention for older adults with dementia and explored the relationship between CY and clinical outcomes: pain interference, mobility, risk of falling, sleep disturbance, autonomic reactivity, and loneliness.

methodsUsing a one-group pretest/posttest design, a home-based CY intervention was delivered remotely to 10 older adults with dementia twice weekly in 60-minute sessions for 8 weeks. Psychosocial and physiological (i.e., cardiac) data were collected remotely at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention.

resultsThe results indicated that remotely supervised online CY is a feasible approach for managing physical and psychological symptoms in socially isolated older adults with dementia, based on retention (70%) and adherence (87.5%), with no injury or other adverse events. While there were no significant findings for pain interference, mobility, sleep, or social loneliness longitudinally, emotional loneliness showed a significant increase, F(1.838, 11.029) = 6.293, p = .016, η

conclusionA home-based remotely supervised online CY is a feasible approach for socially isolated older adults with dementia who are unable to travel to a facility.
