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
Background: Posttraumatic rehabilitation of sports injuries involves physiotherapy. Additionally, nonsurgical treatment of sports injuries involves regular physiotherapy as a major treatment therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of yoga in addition to regular physiotherapy on these patients. Materials and Methods: In the present comparative study, we evaluated the effects of regular physiotherapy alone versus physiotherapy combined with yoga on 212 patients following various knee injuries treated nonsurgically. The study was conducted after obtaining hospital ethical, committee clearance, and written informed consent from patients. The patients were assigned into two groups: group C (Conventional) and group Y (Yoga group). The patients in the regular group received physiotherapy rehabilitation program, whereas the yoga group received additional yoga once every day by a yoga expert during their hospital stay. We provided written guidelines and photographs of the yoga asanas and instructed to perform them 3 days/week once they were home. The data on WOMAC score were collected at 6 weeks, 3 months, and at 6 months from the day of discharge from the hospital. Results: We noted that the yoga group patients showed a significant improvement ( Conclusion: In this study, a combination of regular physiotherapy and yoga provided better functional outcomes than physiotherapy alone.
