Effect of a 6-month yoga intervention on heart rate variability among pre-diabetics.
Article in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objectives: Pre-diabetes represents the initial stage of type 2 diabetic disease. This study aimed to highlight the importance of the 6-month integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on the time domain and frequency domain of heart rate variability (HRV) in pre-diabetic subjects. Method: The study was conducted on 250 pre-diabetic adults aged 30-50 years attending a tertiary care hospital. The patients were divided into two groups: The study group (n = 125) was subjected to the IAYT and the control group (n = 125) was not engaged in yoga therapy. Biochemical parameters such as blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and the time domain and frequency domain of HRV were recorded at baseline and after 6 months of yoga intervention. Results: Participants had a mean age of 45.4 ± 6.4 years, the post-yoga intervention resulted in a significant decline in blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and significantly decreased frequency domain parameters low frequency (LF), and LF/high-frequency ratio (LF/HF ratio), and significantly increased in high frequency (HF) and in time-domain parameter standard deviation of normal-normal (NN) interval, mean percentage of differences higher than 50 ms in RR intervals (pRR50), and root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeat (RMSSD). The number of pairs of successive NN (R-R) intervals that differ by more than 50 ms (NN50) significantly increased. Conclusion: The study clearly indicates that after 6 months of yoga intervention, autonomic nervous system shifted toward parasympathetic dominance, which was assessed by time domain and frequency domain parameters of HRV.
