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

Context: Although proven effective in solid cancers, there is a dearth of evidence-based studies supporting yoga as an intervention to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with lymphoma. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a remotely supervised, home-based yoga intervention to improve HRQOL for lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy. Settings: This project was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. Methodology: Experts in lymphoma, yoga, psychiatry, and nursing collaborated to formulate the intervention. Following a comprehensive literature review and stakeholder consultations, the intervention, named "Yoga Therapy" for patients with lymphoma, was developed. It included counseling regarding the benefits of yoga, a video and booklet on yoga, practical yoga sessions, telephonic support, regular follow-ups, random and need-based re-demonstrations, and adherence charts. The feasibility and safety of the intervention were assessed through a pilot study. Results: The developed intervention was found feasible, effective, and safe to be conducted during the pilot study. Reasonable adjustments were made in the final intervention to address individual needs, lymphoma burden, and other patient-specific concerns. Conclusion: The developed intervention was explicitly developed for patients with lymphoma during chemotherapy and seemed to be appropriate for its effectiveness testing during a randomized controlled trial.
