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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a worldwide interest in yoga for wellness, mind-body medicine, research in consciousness, prevention/management of life-style disorders and spiritual quest for self-realization. An important question is "Is yoga a therapy or a lifestyle?" However, the universe of yoga has many sets and subsets, evolved over millennia, by great yogis and acharyas. The proliferation of the names of yoga, by several teachers and schools, is often guided by the motive of creating a brand rather than a revival, renewal or renaissance in yoga. The latter demands a panoramic overview of tireless endeavor of great masters, beyond any commercial interests, in exploration of "The Science of Yoga." Sincere and meticulous enquiry into the physiological and psychological effects of yoga began, a century ago, in a quiet hamlet in Amalner, Maharashtra.
