Evaluation of Therapeutic Potential of Yoga Practice in Managing Hypertension Based on Cardiopulmonary Efficiency and Physical Fitness.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Noncommunicable diseases have surged because of urbanization and prosperity, with physical inactivity increasing hypertension risk. Hypertension leads to early morbidity and mortality. Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, enhances physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. This study examines yoga's potential to lower blood pressure by increasing VO2 Max, a critical cardiovascular fitness indicator. Methods: This study involved 250 hypertension patients (systolic BP >140 mm Hg or diastolic BP >90 mm Hg) from a rural hospital. Conducted over eight months at a rural medical college's Sports Physiology Laboratory, the study reassessed participants' cardiorespiratory fitness after six months of yoga therapy. Data were collected using the Metabolic module of the Exercise Physiology System and Power Lab System with LabChart Pro software. Results: VO Conclusion: The study highlights yoga's potential in managing hypertension, showing significant improvements in VO2 Max, blood pressure, and BMI, supporting yoga as an effective therapeutic intervention.
