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

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is common in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and there is growing awareness that chronic pain has an impact on the progression of dementia. Yoga has shown promise in treating chronic pain. However, attending in-person yoga can be difficult for AD patients. Objective: To assess the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an online yoga (teleyoga) protocol suitable for AD patients with chronic pain, and their caregivers. Methods: Patients with comorbid mild AD and chronic musculoskeletal pain ( Results: Feasibility measures showed adequate treatment adherence (85.1% in patients and 86.3% in caregivers), acceptability (mean acceptability rating = 3.0 for patients and 3.3 for caregivers, indicating positive approval), recruitment rate ( Conclusion: Results show that teleyoga is a feasible treatment for patients with comorbid mild AD and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Results also provide preliminary evidence of health benefits of teleyoga for both AD patients and their caregivers.
