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

A retrospective analysis of 2919 yoga-related clinical trials registered in the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform database using the keyword "yoga" on 10 September 2024 is of interest. Most trials were interventional (97.81%) and registered in the Clinical Trials Registry of India (56.39%) and ClinicalTrials.gov (26.07%). The majority included both genders (69.29%), with a mean age range of 23.9±13.45 to 56.21±24.66 years, focusing on chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. There was a steady increase in registrations over the years, reflecting the growing global interest in yoga research. Thus, the use of yoga as a therapeutic tool to support its integration into healthcare systems is highlighted.
