Role of Yoga in Modulating Vascular Aging in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDiabetes is one of the top 10 global causes of mortality, with considerable contributions to cardiovascular disease (CVD), respiratory illness, and cancer. Yoga is a traditional Indian mind-body practice that has been linked to improved cardiovascular health, diabetic management, and reduced stress.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of yoga on vascular aging in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIAL AND
methodsFrom September 2021 to July 2024, Shri B M Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), in Vijayapura carried out hospital-based prospective research. Two groups of 70 T2DM patients were created: 35 patients in Group Y (yoga practice) and 35 patients in Group NY (routine without yoga). Age, gender distribution, and baseline glycemic control were similar in both groups. HbA1c, postprandial and fasting blood glucose, and vascular aging using a periscope were determined at baseline and three months later as part of the data-gathering process.
resultsThree months later, Group Y's mean random blood sugar (RBS) and HbA1c levels were considerably lower than those of Group NY (p<0.05). Furthermore, there were notable declines in the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in Group Y, suggesting a decreased arterial stiffness (p<0.05).
conclusionThe study concludes that yoga practice significantly improves glycemic control and reduces arterial stiffness in patients with T2DM.
