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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the use of integrated yoga and naturopathy intervention to modify functional disability and improve independence in patients with spinal cord injury. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 48 spinal cord injury patients receiving residential rehabilitation, aged between 23 and 57 years (37.9±11.8) of both genders, were randomly allocated to two groups: (i) experimental group (naturopathy and yoga) and (ii) control group (waitlist with routine care). Subjects were assessed on day 1 (baseline), day 30 (intense phase), and day 90 (follow-up). Assessments were done using the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM), handheld myometry (HHM), time up and go (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and 10-meter walk test (10MWT).

resultsThere were no significant differences at baseline between groups for all the variables (

conclusionThe present study shows that there is significant improvement in the functions of both yoga and naturopathy and the control group. So, yoga and naturopathy can be considered as adjuvant along with routine care of physical therapy in spinal cord injury rehabilitation programs.
