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: Cognitive impairment is one of the most important end-stage consequences of renal disease. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of super brain yoga on the cognitive function of hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 HD patients who were assigned to the control (n = 30) and intervention (n = 30) groups. In addition to undergoing their routine HD, subjects in the intervention group performed yoga exercises for one month, at least three days a week, once a day. Cognitive function score of the patients at baseline and after the study (one month later) was measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, including independent Results: The mean score of cognitive function, urea, creatinine, and dialysis adequacy at baseline was 26.07 ± 3.72, 133.83 ± 34.19, 9.37 ± 2.55, and 1.22 ± 0.24 in the control group and28.97 ± 1.62, 174.17 ± 52.8, 13.38 ± 4.16, and 1.26 ± 0.22, in the intervention group, respectively. At the baseline, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of cognitive function, urea, creatinine (p-value = 0.001), but there was not in terms of dialysis adequacy (p-value = 0.974). Therefore, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to adjust their effects. The mean score of these variables after the study was 25.77 ± 3.11, 146 ± 42.03, 9.7 ± 2.61, and 1.24 ± 0.24 in the control group and 29.17 ± 1.23, 156.03 ± 37.67, 12.27 ± 3.46, and 1.43 ± 0.19 in the intervention group, respectively. There was a significant difference in cognitive function between two the groups (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Super brain yoga exercises seem to play an effective role in improving the cognitive function of HD patients. Therefore, super brain yoga is recommended as a complementary therapy for HD patients in nursing.
