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
Introduction: Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation experience low health-related quality of life which can be improved by performing yoga. The aim of this study was to evaluate gender differences in health-related quality of life, blood pressure and heart rate among patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after performing MediYoga. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of subgroups, investigating the yoga groups, from two randomized controlled trials (RCT 1: yoga group versus control group, RCT 2: a three-armed randomized study with yoga, control and relaxation groups). The yoga groups performed MediYoga for one hour/week over a 12-week period in both studies. Quality of life (SF-36), blood pressure and heart rate were collected at baseline and end of study. Results: No differences were found between the women and men. Within the women's group, there were improvements in vitality ( Conclusion: MediYoga improved mental health as well as diastolic blood pressure in both men and women with PAF. This study suggests that both men and women, with PAF, may benefit from complementary treatment such as yoga.
