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

The use of yoga, especially as an intervention for chronic pain, is increasing worldwide. Available data on chronic low back pain, within limits also for chronic neck pain and certain types of headache, show statistically significant positive effects related to pain intensity and pain-related impairments. The data provide evidence that yoga is at least equal in efficacy and safety to other exercise interventions as well as individualized physical therapy. The dose of the intervention seems to be of secondary importance, but the establishment of a long-term independent practice after initial supervision seems to be essential; however, for other pain disorders there is still a need for research.
