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

Chronic pain is a leading cause of morbidity among children and adolescents affecting 35% of the global population. Pediatric chronic pain management requires integrative health methods spanning physical and psychological subsystems through various mind-body interventions. Yoga therapy is one such method, known for its ability to improve the quality of life both physically and psychologically in chronic pain conditions. However, maintaining the clinical outcomes of personalized yoga therapy sessions at-home is challenging due to fear of movement, lack of motivation, and boredom. Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to bridge the gap between the clinic and home by motivating engagement and mitigating pain-related anxiety or fear of movement. We developed a multi-modal algorithmic architecture for fusing real-time 3D human body pose estimation models with custom developed inverse kinematics models of physical movement to render biomechanically informed 6-DoF whole-body avatars capable of embodying an individual's real-time yoga poses within the VR environment. Experiments conducted among control participants demonstrated superior movement tracking accuracy over existing commercial off-the-shelf avatar tracking solutions, leading to successful embodiment and engagement. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of rendering virtual avatar movements that embody complex physical poses such as those encountered in yoga therapy. The impact of this work moves the field one step closer to an interactive system to facilitate at-home individual or group yoga therapy for children with chronic pain conditions.
