Effectiveness of yoga on Ewing's battery autonomic function test: cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe cardiovascular autonomic functions can be tested by a Battery of five tests developed by Ewing and Clark in 1981 in Edinburgh. Yogic practices are immensely useful for physical, mental and spiritual development required for better autonomic function. AIM AND
objectivesTo assess the ANS (Autonomic function system) function with help of Ewing's Battery tests in yoga participants and healthy participants not practicing yoga. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 participants which were divided into two groups viz: 135 in healthy control (Group I) and 135 in yoga group (Group II). Subjects with informed consent between 40-50 years, were included in control (Group I) and those practicing yoga for past minimum 3 months were included in Group II. Anthropometric measurements were done and parasympathetic tests like Heart rate (HR) response to standing from the supine posture, to Valsalva maneuvers and to slow deep breathing were done. Also, sympathetic tests, Blood Pressure (BP) response to cold in cold pressor test (CPT), to sustained handgrip test and to standing from lying posture were carried out.
results
conclusionMore emphasis should be given on implementation of yoga from early ages at the institutional levels, hospital levels. Yoga practices will suffice and lead to improvement of unhealthy ANS condition. Overall, Yoga showed better ANS function than healthy control group.
