Consensus-Based Recommendations for Yoga as Adjunct Therapy in Eating Disorder Treatment: A Delphi Study.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2025. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to develop consensus-based statements, combining the expertise of eating disorder (ED) clinicians and yoga instructors, on key considerations for applying yoga for individuals with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.
methodA two-round modified Delphi technique was conducted via an online survey platform. Participants rated the importance of various yoga components to ensure the safety and therapeutic usefulness of yoga for the EDs. Survey items covered key aspects of yoga, including style, frequency, duration, environmental factors, safety precautions (e.g., medical monitoring), language and expression, instructor qualifications, postures, breathwork, and meditation practices. A total of 12 ED clinicians and 16 yoga instructors participated in the first round, with 10 clinicians and 13 instructors completing the second round.
resultsGeneral recommendations were developed for both the transdiagnostic and disorder-specific application of yoga. These were organized into six core areas: yoga style, environmental factors, dosage, language and expression, the instructor's role, and the integration of yoga into ED treatment. Additionally, the yoga panel provided technique-specific recommendations addressing postures, breathwork, and meditation practices for both transdiagnostic and disorder-specific application across the ED spectrum. DISCUSSION: This study offers preliminary recommendations for integrating yoga into ED treatment through developing consensus-based statements. The findings emphasize both transdiagnostic and disorder-specific considerations for EDs, while highlighting the importance of trauma-informed, individualized approaches. Further research is needed to develop comprehensive guidelines for the therapeutic use of yoga in eating disorder treatment.
